this vehicle uses a cylinder head temp sensor only. the pcm and the instrument cluster share the same sensor located under the intake on the driverside cyl head.

The temp sensor is located underneath the intake manifold. It is near the front of the engine in the cylinder head on the drivers side of the vehicle.

Good luck!
