I wanted to post this as a new thread, but I don't know how to create a post, I just signed up.
There's a sensor on the radiator, passenger side, not sure if that's the only one, though. Sometimes the gauge sensor, the fan sensor and the sensor that the ecm uses are separate, not sure about the ti.

If you've got no heat, I'd be looking beyond the sensor; thermostat's the 1st place I'd look, especially if the temp gauge on the dash is reading low.

I'm editing this - it was a bit early for me when first responded.

The sensor on the radiator is a switch for the electric cooling fan. The coolant sensor that interfaces with the ecm is just above and to the rear of the oil filter, next to the lift bracket.

But still, if you're not getting heat, I would start by checking the thermostat.
