I'm familiar with the location but I see two sensors located in the back near the firewall. Which one is the one I'm looking for? I'm questioning whether to go from the top or bottom. If the top, how can I do this safely and without damaging anything under the hood. If the bottom, how can I access this visible yet hard to reach space.
