Hello,

It is on the front of bank 1 cylinder head and it is called the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor (CHT). In the diagrams down below I have included location diagrams and specific tests for you to do. You will need to use a multi-meter set to Ohms for resistance testing. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this I have included a link below.

Please go through the guide and the reference material down below in the diagrams and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex
