Temp. sensor maxed out and check engine

This morning while driving to work, the temperature sensor maxed out and the check engine light came on. I was able to drive to the parking lot. Opened the hood and the radiator hoses werent very hot. I was able to touch them.
Restarted the car and the temperature went back to normal. But the check engine light was still there.

Any idea what might be wrong?

Think its the temperature sensor.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
