Default Error P059800 Thermostat issues

The code reads: P059800 Thermostat for Map-controlled engine cooling, Short circuit to ground. And in a blue bubble under the code it says “No Fault Symptom”

Is is my third thermostat housing and thermostat so I’m guessing the issue is either the connection or the harness. Am I right to think that the wires that go to the thermostat have grounded somewhere in the engine valley or elswhere?

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Did you replace the oil filter housing with the oem mahle? Did the P059800 go away after replacement?

Thanks

Yes. I replaced the whole housing which incorporates the oil filter housing.
