So is it actually possible to change the sensor only? I've just replaced my water pump that had died, and as a preventative measure, replaced the thermostat too.

But now I'm getting two codes P0597 (Thermostat here control circuit/open) and P2EF7 (characteristic diagram thermostat, control), and My mechanic says I probably got a defective thermostat and need to replace it. But I'm wondering if this sensor is the culprit and might be easier / cheaper to fix than Replacing the thermostat?
