Default stop engine temperature light

the stopengine temperature lightstays on all of the time. where could I locate the switch or whatever operates the lightto it ?
I have looked all over the engine and cannot find it. I did locate the coolant temperature sensor but this does not seem to control it.

The engine is not overheating because this light stays on even when the engine is cold and the key is off. How do I retrieve codes ?????
Thanks for your response,
Jim

another followup -
I quess that it is not really the stop engine light. It says stop temperature.
I just thought I would clarify the light that I am talking about.
