Hi:

The easiest thing to do is to remove the inner fender on the passenger side of the vehicle. Once it is off, you will see it right beside the crankshaft pulley.

I attached the directions below. The directions do include a picture of the sensor's location. If you have additional questions or need help, let me know. Also, if you have a chance, let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
