Hi,

The sensor is on the rear of the engine. If you look at pic 4, it shows a general location. This isn't too hard to do, but it will require that you drain the engine coolant.

Here is a link to get you started. It explains in general how it's done.

If you look at pics 1, 2, and 3 below, they provide the directions specific to your vehicle.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
