Hi,

This vehicle doesn't have a traditional coolant temperature sensor. Instead, it has what is called a cylinder head temperature sensor.

The location of the sensor is in the cylinder head, under the intake manifold.

I attached a pic below, so you get an idea of its location. Take a look and let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take and Merry Christmas.
