To be absolutely certain:
1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have diagrams and precise locations.
2. Use a reliable online parts diagram: Many websites, like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or RockAuto, offer free online parts diagrams. Enter your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine to find a diagram showing the sensor's location.
Important Note: Before attempting any work on your vehicle, always disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shorts. If you're not comfortable performing this yourself, consult a qualified mechanic.
