I would suggest you find out if the sensor has been changed recently, if not, I would change it soon. It's only $40 and the peace of mind knowing it won't go out on you at any moment is worth the investment. There is a great write-up here on the forum for how to change it.
Thanks for the compliments. Do you really think I should replace the CPS at 27k miles? Seems a bit premature?
