There is only one on your car, it's mounted on the coolant outlet at the rear of the engine.
Some cars have two, with the second one controlling the electric radiator fan. Your fan is controlled by the computer which uses the same signal as the one for engine control.

You should have 3 total. The one by the Throttle body is the IAT (Intake Air Temp) and one on the Thermostat Housing or Head for the Gauge (CTS) and one for the ECM called the ECT. Some cars incorporate the CTS with the ECT but they're rare. The easy way to tell is that a CTS has 2 Wires, if both CTS/ECT it will have at least 3 Wires. On newer cars the IAT is incorporated into the MAF.

Thanks for the answer,
How the ecu know that it is time to turn the fan on and what time to stop?
Because the sensor is on thermostat housing and show only outgoing coolant. So how the ecu will know that the outgoing coolant has been cooled by radiator or not?
