The cylinder head temperature gauge is in fact the coolant temperature sensor.
The code means that for some reason the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is seeing a high input from the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor. That could be the sensor itself (not likely since you have a new one), a wiring problem, thermostat or a PCM problem. You may want to have the repair shop recheck there work to ensure they have all the wires connected correctly. However, the most likely problem is the thermostat.
Hope this helps.
