Hello,

The coolant temperature sensor is located on the rear side of the engine (see diagram below).
Replacement of the sensor is simple. Just unplug the harness and unscrew the sensor from the engine.
Remember to only work on the cooling system when the engine is cool.

Here are couple of articles that you might find helpful:

I have attached the replacement procedure for this sensor as well.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
