Replace the thermostat again, just because it's new doesn't mean it's not bad. I have installed new thermostats that didn't work and had to return them and get another one.

One way for sure you can tell if you have a faulty thermostat, is take it out and put it in a pot of water on the stove. Let the water boil and see if it opens up. If it dont, you need yet another one.

You may have a bad head gasket that allows exhaust gas to enter your coolant system. A shop should have a tester that sniffs the open radiator during warm up and senses exhaust gases in the coolant.

I would start with a thermostat, I have had a few new ones go bad. Good luck with it.

if your running programs you will get false messages
your head gasket could be bad
a part you put in might be defected or not properly installed
