No personal experience myself with this but it states coolant sensor and/or thermostat.
Hopefully someone with the knowledge can advise better.

If you have changed the CTS then its the thermostat... if not change the CTS first but this code is almost always the stat

I think these thermostats usually fail open and therefore the car is always running cold, unless stuck in traffic.

Hi,
I changed the thermostat yesterday.
The EML light went out without any diagnogstic tools.
Is this because i unplugged the battery due to working behind the alternator ?
I left the car running and the temp gauge never went over 60 and the cooling fan came on.
The car always used to run at 90 and got there quickly ?
I took her for a run and the guage never seemed ti move
