I just went through this issue, I just went to the junk yard and pulled it off a 99-01 sorlara with a 2.4 it has both coolant sensors right next to each other right where the top radiator hose goes to the engine, the 2 wire green coolant pig tail and the single wire, (exact one in your video); it’s in a good spot on the engine not next to the exhaust so it doesn’t get heat soaked and brittle, like where it is in the Tacomas. Even the squeeze in release part worked like new when I squeezed to pull it off and I didn’t even pay anything, only 2 bucks to go in to the junk yard.

What were the issues you were having with your tacoma due to that plug? Was the sensor replaced too?
