error code 161

I have a 95 explorer with an odb-I computer, I got a 161 error code which I was told was a bad thermostat and temperature sensor.

I see that there are two coolant temperature sending sensors

one is marked coolant temp sedning unit

and the ohter is merked EEC-IV coolant temp sending unit.

Anyone have any idea on which one I should change? They are both right next to each other???
