why not take the sensor out and clean it? the cars we're talking about here are 10 to 13 years old so chance are theyve built up sediment on the sensor and it just needs to be knocked off. just my 2 pennys
if it is faulty and your good about checking your fluids... just unplug it and clear the codes... The light will stay off. When coolant goes too low the sensor completes the circut. So if you just unplug it then you dont have to worry about it.

just unplug it. The sensor does not do anything to the car and will not make it throw any codes, it just tells you when the coolant level is below the sensor. The ONLY thing it controls is the light at the dash, it is not wired into anything else.
