You are not going to like this. It looks like they put it behind the flywheel, requires engine removal for replacement. Here is a video of what you need to do to change it also, See the diagram below for the sensor location.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Yep unbelievable! Have to remove the engine or transmission. I would fire the design team who made this.

Removal

Remove engine with transmission from vehicle.
Remove transmission from engine and then remove flywheel or drive plate from crankshaft.
Disconnect connector from crankshaft position sensor.
Remove crankshaft position sensor (1) from cylinder block (2).
Installation


Reverse removal procedure noting the following.
Check to make sure that crankshaft position sensor (1) is free from any metal particles and damage.
Apply engine oil to o-ring of sensor.
Install crankshaft position sensor to cylinder block (2) with specified torque.
Tightening torque
Crankshaft position sensor bolt a: 6 N.m (0.6 kg-m, 4.5 lb-ft)

Connect connector and fix wire harness with clamp securely.
