If it is a temperature sensor, it is usually located on the top of the engine near the thermostat.

If it is a "low coolant sensor", then it is located in the radiator (it will be the only item in the radiator that has a electric wire going to it)

Either way, you would drain the coolant enough to be below the sensor, and then remove it and replace it with a new one. They are usually under $10-$20

There is a coolant level sensor in the bottom of the coolant tank. If the tank has enough coolant, then the sensor is bad. You can buy a new tank for about $50 (Rockauto.com or Autozone) and replace it in an hour or so. Or just disconnect the cable from the sensor and check your coolant level on a regular basis.

if you are referring to the engine coolant level sensor located in the top of the engine coolant reservior (usually gives the message "coolant sensor bad" in the VIC when it is bad), it can be easily "popped" out of the bottle with no tools necessary and a new one "popped" back in its place. **mine is a V8 model this should hold true for the I6 as well
