2012 TSX VSA Light stays on

So, two weeks ago, the VSA light on my 2012 TSX came on and stayed on. The code reader came back with a 26-1 "Lateral Acceleration Sensor malfunction" code. So, I'm assuming the sensor needs to be replaced. Anybody have any experience with this type of a problem? How easy it to replace? I found a YouTube video of a guy replacing this sensor in his Honda Odyssey--and that sensor was located behind his radio in the dashboard. Will it be in a similar place in my TSX? Any place I can go to see how to get access to that area? I found used sensors for sale on eBay but I'm nervous about buying a used part. I'm just afraid the dealer is going to want to charge me $1K+ for a new sensor. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that is the yaw sensor. It is mounted under the center console. Buy it new from here https://www.amayama.com/en for less that half price at the dealership.

So, any idea how I get back there, into the center console? Any video anywhere? Tech manual?
