Bad Thermostat?

I've recently gotten the engine code for "Engine Cold Too Long".

Does this always mean a stuck thermostat, and is there a way to tell if the
thermostat is bad without removing it? Or, should I simply replace it for
good measure?

I get the following codes:

12 - Not listed in '92 FSM (I've heard through the list that this is a
battery disconnected indication??)

17 - Engine Cold Too Long (thermostat)

44 - Not listed in '92 FSM ??????

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
