ECU code P0117 after a drift event

So I had a small drift event yesterday... drifted for around 30-45 minutes and bounced off the limiter a couple of times.

Anyway I noticed that my CEL came on so I took out my OFT and read the code.

I got P0117, and this code has to do with the coolant temp sensor.

Honestly I have never gotten this code before and I don’t really know where to go from here? Has anyone had this before?

Nope, never got that code.

...... quit drifting, your car don't like it......

I'd suggest you just erase the code and see if it comes back.

I wonder if maybe you are either low in coolant or have a bubble in the system and the lateral G's exposed the coolant temp sensor to the air pocket? Dunno, just a guess. Do what Humfrz said. Watch your temps and if it comes back, then you got some digging to do! Hopefully it wont.
