Welcome to 2CarPros.

This vehicle has one. It is part of the exhaust manifold. Here are three links that discuss symptoms, how to test one, and how in general one is replaced:

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. I attached three pics to help you locate and identify the components.

1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Disconnect the front oxygen sensor connector.
