I can find it for the 2.4 but not the 2.0. Images would be great if possible. Thanks

Hi,

The temperature sensor is inside the transmission. Accessing it requires the draining of the fluid and the removal of both the filter and valve body.

If you look below, I attached the directions from my manual. Take a look through them and let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe
