2007 C70 W P0017

[howie]

Hello,
I have had my C70 for about 1 year now and it started throwing a p0017 code and sounds rough on cold start but runs fine when it's warmed up. The problem started suddenly and all other functions seem to be working fine. I got the code with a Bluedriver and am going to buy a VXdiag or Dice but none are available for fast delivery since they come from China.

It seems like the code and symptoms point to a dying CPS and I have searched for the location of the CPS and how to replace it but none of the youtube videos or tutorials I have found show how to find and replace it.

Can anyone share a shop manual or pic of the location and tips about how to replace it?

Thanks.
