The sensor itself may also be affected by the goobis in the expansion tank. My '95 had the same symptom, by removing the sensor and cleaning both the electrical terminals (as stated before), and the hinge that moves (depending on the amount of coolant in the tank) to trigger the low coolant light, you should be alright.
