SES on. Code 15!

[AWick20]

Hi! Pulled my code today with the help of the planet and turned out to be #15. Coolant sensor or circuit / low temperature indicated. Is there anything I can do to help fix this problem or anymore I can look into it? Also, my rearview mirror temperature reading says OC which I know means open circuit...Read around and found it means I need to replace the sensor...Anyone know where I can buy one of these online? Im not really a HUGE car guy but I can work my way around things here and there if I put my mind to it...Thanks for any help you can give!

Just found this information for typical problems:
1) Open circuit in CTS-ECM harness
2) Defective Coolant Temperature Sensor (resistance too high)
3) Open sensor ground circuit
4) Defective ECM

Not sure what any of that means :P
