Default Coolant Temp sensor ??????????

Would like to know if the coolant temp sensor is also the
fan switch, is it one in the same. The gauge is not working so how can I test the coolant sensor. Thanks
Richard. Car is 90 stock.

They are separate sensors.

I believe the coolant temp sensor is in the front of the intake manifold.

The sensor in front of the engine sends coolant temp to the ECM. The guage reads coolant temp from a sensor on the right side engine block between spark plugs 6 and 8.
