A bad crankshaft position sensor will cause that.

I don’t see how a error code for the coolant sensor would cause a shutdown of the engine. There are a number of things that could cause the engine to shutdown without showing any error codes to give a clue to the trouble. I would suspect a intermittent power problem to something like the ignition may be causing the trouble.
