Hi,

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

This sensor is under the lower intake manifold. See pic 1 below.

The remaining pics are the directions for replacement.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.
