P0128

Hello everyone. The other day my CEL came on and had the code P0128 which I am familiar with from about 2 or 3 years ago when I replaced my thermostat with an AC delco thermostat. When the light came on my coolant temperature wasn't reading above 180 F I don't believe. I'm sitting at idle right now after some driving and my coolant reads 189 F and the outside temperate is 36 F.

Does it sound like I need to replace my thermostat again?

I'm sure you already know what that code is, but for anyone else looking at this thread later on, here's the English version:

P0128 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature
My guess is that replacing the thermostat would probably clear up the issue. I'm a little surprised that yours is going out so frequently since I've never replaced mine and it's been going strong for ~6 years. How many miles have you racked up?

That code means your engine didn't reach operating temperature in the pre-set delay. This means your thermostat isn't closing tight or the rubber seal has failed.
