Default Check Engine light - 17704 Unspecified Error (more)

Got a check Engine light, tried clearing it. Came back a day later.

17704 - Unspecified Error in Cooling System (temp sensor or thermostat) 35-10 - - - Intermittent

Think its my thermostat? I've had problems on my cooling system a couple times now.. Maybe I should just try replacing that. Any ideas?

Default

Temp sensor is a common failure, at least on the S4s.

Default I had mine replaced under warranty, but there are posts about DIY replacement.

From what I read, it sounded fairly easy. Someone who's done it could probably fill you in.
