P0073 Error

Does anyone know if this sensor is located on the driver or passenger side and if it can be accessed without removing the front bumper?

Thanks

On our 2013 328i xDrive the sensor is attached to the underbody tray on the driver's side, approx. in line with the foglight. It's behind that "hump" hanging down.

It appears a rodent or rabbit bit the wire. I soldered the wire back together and the temp now reads correctly and the CEL is staying off after clearing the code.
