Default code 6 on a 1990 lx need some help

well i got a code 6 onmy accord
Coolant temperature, so i figured i'd replace my rad fluid and put in some new stuff
so i did
and i only got the code when driving really really long distances 100+km w/o turning the car off, mostly during long long expressway driving
so anyway, i changed the fliud and went to wonderland, and be4 we got there i got the code again, so i dunno whether i should get the entire curcuit and sensor checked or what?
what u guys think it is?
the temp gauge shows everything normally, nothing overheats atall or anything..
what u guys think?

if this is the same code i had...

there's two sensor's on the head...next to the distributor i believe...check them to make sure they're not loose or unconnected.
