just check your coolant level in the morning and make sure its at the full line or just above and you will be fine. What year is your car?

The mazda dealer was just bs'ing you. The sensor is part of the oem coolant tank and can not be removed or cleaned. I would bring back your car asap and get it fixed. It is not an urgent problem, just that annoying light.
