Edit: It actually is the power steering pressure sensor, see 2nd post update.

Changing the oil and noticed a dangling wire for the first time when changing the oil pressure sensor, looks like it still has part of what was broken off in it and had 3 pins. I have a couple codes stored: knock sensor - in the valley so I doubt it's that and power steering sensor - unsure where that is located I thought right side but it would explain the 3 pin and the plug looks similar. If it is the power steering pressure sensor, does anyone know if it's a specific unit? It looks the same as the oil pressure sensor. Here's the location and a closeup:

Update: After looking through the service manual it looks like it's the power steering sensor and it is in fact on the left side.

Same happened to me.

How did you go about replacing it? I'm thinking of trying to crowfoot it off from above and just refill the ps fluid after.

For anyone that finds this thread and is wondering what they need exactly I used a 27MM deep socket with two extensions and a breaker bar. Crowfoot didn't fit well from above unless you moved the coolant overflow and you'll have fluid everywhere anyway so it's best to just go from under while the shroud is off.
