Yes, it's true.

You can find them on eBay but are still pretty expensive.

There are 2 small connectors in the engine compartment, pass side near the coolant bottle. If you still have the cover over the relay center, they are right there.

This doesn't work for your year. Remember, no codes.

However, the sensors can all be tested using a multimeter. If you google for Jeep FSM, you'll find links to the 1988 FSM. This will contain the pinouts and values for the sensors.

Here's a good place to start.
