the cts send the ecu a signal to basically say what the water temperature is, the ecu then uses this signal to alter fuelling. obvicously when the thermostat opens the sensor should tell the ecu and it will put less fuel in. the ecu takes whatever the cts is saying as gospel sadly, and it could take months before the ecu recognises the signal as being wrong. 
 
therefore you wouldnt have an ecu light even though the sensor could be fooked. for less than a fiver, its a good thing to try

run round the car five times, hop on one leg for 3 minutes, fill your mouth with cheese while humming we wish you a merry christmas, then start the car and it should be fine

might be more costly from autovaux, motorfactors are cheaper normally and stock them on the shelves
