The trouble codes do not just go away. Disconnect the battery for about a
minute, that will clear the codes (you will still get 12 & 55). If you still
get the 17 code then the coolant sensor could be the issue. The sensor that
the computer uses will trip the check engine if you disconnect it where as
the sensor that runs the gauge will not (the gauge will go to the bottom -
cold - when disconnected).
