Do a search here on the code, there are several threads on cause & fixes.

I had that code on my 2014 a couple of months ago. Dealer verified that it is NOT on the power train warranty. There's a good video on youtube about replacing it. It's pretty easy, I did it myself. The valve has 3 coolant hoses connected to it. Hardest part is pinching them off for the valve replacement so you don't lose coolant. I purchased a set of those cheap plastic clamp pliers that the guy in the video uses. The OEM valve was around $180 if I remember right, from an ebay dealer. Good luck!
