Good morning,

The sensor is at the back of the motor about half way up from the bottom.

I attached pictures for you of the location.

NOTE: If the cylinder head is being replaced, the CHT must be replaced.

1. Disconnect the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor electrical connector.

2. Remove the CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) sensor.
- To install, tighten to 11 Nm (97 lb-in).

3. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
