Location of Coolant Temp sensor

[rigotovar32]

I got a P0117 code yesterday, and the fans are on full blast, and the temperature isn't reading at all. I'm guessing it's the temp sensor, but I can't find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I would like to get it figured out today. I was planning to go hit the trails tomorrow anyway thanks

On the JK 3.6 it was behind the driver side cat and rear of the block. Not the exact same motor but might be a good starting place.

Did you resolve the code?

Yes, I ended up changing out the sensor, and everything was back to normal it wasn't too hard to get to you just have to remove the intake to get to it

That is way easier to get to.

Yeah, it was. The only downside, I guess, could be that now it is all made of plastic, so it might be prone to cracking.
