I would look at the engine temperature sensor, the wiring around it, and the temperature gauge. I think you can check the voltage to and from the temperature sensor to isolate the problem. Haines or Chilton manual should help you there. I would probably start with checking the connector and then replacing the sensor.

Re: obd2

The code indicates that the engine pcm is not getting a reading from the engine coolabnt sensor.
Did you get it pluged back up good and wiring plug good?
Ohm test on it is
68 degrees=3520 ohms
104 ""=1459 ohms
200 "" = 241 ohms
If you can get it on a scanner see what the engine coolant reading is in scanner.
If you have to replace the sensor they have them with a wiring plugin kit to.
