I can't help you with your question. However, I can suggest that if you are in a state that does not do emissions testing, you can just forego this problem (assuming you fix this first) and any future problems by tuning and deleting the emissions and be done with the headaches. Just a thought.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler Temperature Sensor Replacement - Postion 1
My Canyon Duramax is 2-1/2 years old, and at 43,474 miles I took it into the dealership, as over the past week I kept getting a "Reduced Power" warning in the DIC, followed by the "Check Engine" light on some occasions.
The dealership ran diagnostics on the truck and came up with a P041D & P041E Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler Temperature Sensor - Position 1 failure. For Diagnostics test and replacement they wanted $560... to replace a sensor. I declined the service, after dealership stated it wasn't covered under warranty, so I could inquire with GM as to why this part, which I assumed was associated with emissions, was not covered under warranty. GM stated sensor was covered under the 36,000 Bumper to Bumper warranty, but not the 5/60,000 Power Train, nor 70,000 emissions warranty.
With that, I decided to look up the cost of the sensor online. If I'm correct, it's GM Part # 55488437 and can be delivered to my door for $48, if it's the wrong one, then the rest are cheaper!
There are two sensors associated with the EGR Cooler - Position 1 and Position 2. I'm going to assume that one is at the EGR, the other is on the exhaust. Can anyone confirm for me that the sensor pointed out by the arrow in my picture - located along the back side of the engine, driver side, near the oil stick - is actually Position 1? I'd much rather replace myself for $48 than pay dealership an astronomical price to replace.

I got the P041D code on my Colorado and according to my troubleshooting I had to remove/replace the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Temperature Sensor - Position 1. On the image below:

The image you have attached is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler Temperature Sensor - Position 2, if I'm not wrong.
Don't have the part number of the one I replace but I'll post it once I get it.
Hope this help.

Position 1 aka position a is on the exhaust manifold on other side. when mine went out I threw more codes.

I took mine in to the stealership because it was cold out and I didn't feel like doing it and got screwed over, they broke the end of the sensor off in my manifold by using air tools to remove it. Ended up with a huge bill and a reminder why I do repairs myself.

Just finished up fixing the P041D and P041E code on my truck this evening. Wanted to clear up the discussion on what part # is associated with what position sensor. I took a chance and amazon'd both parts listed here. Turns out they are the same sensor (guess that makes sense...) Only difference being the connector end. Long story short they both work as long as you have the old part to swap connector adapter. Pictures for reference.
