Last April I had my Thermostat changed on the advise of my indy shop #1 (regret).

Now I've been told by a seperate Indy shop #2 (as I don't go to the previous any more) that the following codes were pulled and I was advised to changed my Thermostat out.

• 141 Electric fan activation
• 140 Map cooling
• 8D lamp Module faulty
• as well as right side valve cover is leaking onto the exhaust.

I took my car back to the Indy shop #1 that changed out the thermostat last April. They said that there was a code for the thermostat, but upon restarting the vehicle it went away. This was in direct contradiction to what I was told by indy shop #2, as they said a restart didn't correct the problem.

Since the part & labor have a year warranty from Shop #1, I have little time to figure out if I need a new thermostat.

Any advise?
