I changed the coolant at 100,000 and 200,000 miles. The 200,000 mile change/flush was done April of 2008.

isnt there a way to check sensors with an ohm meter?
Yes if you put them in a pan of water and heat them while checking resistance across the connections. Too difficult to get accurate readings in my opinion. Much easier to just change the sensor.

I had old nasty dexcool leave a coating on everything on a different car and sensors like that didn't work right. I don't know if it could be wiped down or cleaned if you remove it, but as long as the wiring is decent, it will be more reliable just to replace the sensor.
