Hi,

I don't believe this vehicle has a heater core temperature sensor. I have a feeling you are looking for what is called the blend air door (aka temperature blend door actuator). That is what controls the air temperature entering the vehicle.

The actuator is under the dash on the passenger side. See pic 1 below.

Here is a link that shows in general how one is replaced:

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle for replacement. The remaining pics correlate with the directions.

3. Release the locking tab and remove the temperature blend door actuator from the blend door shaft.
4. Remove the instrument panel center finish panel.
5. Remove the temperature blend door actuator.
6. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

If you have no heat, first make sure the engine coolant is full. Also, pay attention to the engine temperature. It needs to warm up to operating temp for the heater to work properly.
Here is a link that goes over the most common causes of no heat:

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
