The code really did not tell you to change ywo sensors.
It did let you know there is a problem in the circuit, maybe a short, bad connector, possibly sensors, or more.
Just letting you know it might be a simple fix, in which we all hope for! It could go sour too.
I did a little researching, the 'most likely' reason for the code is a defective coolant temperature sensor. This is not set in stone.
I looked it up on a popular auto parts site, the sensor might range from about $16.00 to $39.00 depending on MFG. The connector (if need be) May be as much as $50.00.
I am sure you do not have specialized tooling to do testing and a few bucks might fix you right up and leave the repair shop out of the equation. I have done this kind of guess fix too, it is one of those things you have to weigh out. I did have to give you the overall picture, just in case.
In the diagram below, it is listed on the left side fourth down.
Keep us posted!
