No, that is the one for the gauge.
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...3860&jsn=10484 is the one you want. They both are called Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

And to clarify, the sensor in the water pump tells the PCM what the coolant temperature is. The PCM uses that info to turn on the fans, and for other purposes like cold start A/F ratio enrichment, switching the programming to closed loop, etc.
