The EBP sensor is mounted to a SS line that runs from the front of the passanger exhaust manifold to the front of the motor, if you look down by the fan you will see it there...

5/8 and 9/16 wrenches for the line and 1 inch for the sensor i cleaned mine out with brake cleaner and compressed air found it easier to take the manifold side off by reaching over passenger wheel its a very simple job

It could be, but I very much doubt it. I have never seen one go "bad". Broken off the pedistal, yes...

Order yourself Auto Enginuity. Best tool you can have for your PSD.

Then you can test the EBP system.
