Hello, my vehicle's temperature gauge suddenly remained at the highest point and did not change. There is no decrease in the engine coolant. I think the temperature sensor is broken. I cannot find the sensor's location. Can you tell me where it is?

They call it a cylinder head temperature sensor, and it is located in the center of the cylinder head. Here is the exact location in the images below. Let us know if you need anything else.
