Agreed with Andrew. When my T-Stat was stuck, it never threw a SES. I just happened to found it on a random scan prior to my Smog.

Code comes up as 279b Thermostat Jamming. Temp was constant at the center and oil temp was normal, even on the entire ride home.
I erased the code when I got home, then went out for a little 12 mile ride and it hasn't thrown the code again. Coolant and oil temp normal. I'm hoping this was just a glitch.
