Hello,

The coolant temperature sensor is located on top of the engine, just behind the thermostat housing.
It can be using basic hand tools.
Remember to only work on the cooling system when the engine is cool.

I have attached the replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
