To be certain, you should:
* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will have a diagram showing the exact location of the sensor.
* Use a visual inspection: Carefully examine the engine block near the thermostat housing on the passenger side. Look for a sensor with a single or two-wire connector that's likely screwed into the engine block. It's often a relatively small sensor.
Keep in mind that there might be other temperature sensors on the engine, so it's crucial to identify the *coolant temperature sensor* specifically. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a mechanic to avoid accidentally damaging something else.
