Replaced the thermostat, it seems to get/stay warm like normal now, but the CEL didn't go away. I'll have to reset it tomorrow and see if it comes back. The old one wasn't stuck open, maybe just a weak spring or something.

It was really weird, all plastic pieces. Three 10mm bolts to get the housing off the head, plus a couple spring clamps on hoses, but the thing that kept the thermostat in was three torx t25 that were really tough to get to. Plus there were no paper gaskets, all rubber orings that were reusable.
