The OBD2 code P0128 for a Saturn SC1 indicates a problem with the engine coolant temperature being below the thermostat regulating temperature. This could be caused by a faulty thermostat, low coolant level, or a malfunctioning coolant temperature sensor. It is important to diagnose and address the issue to prevent damage to the engine.
An auto thermostat is strictly a mechanical device, so no.
Low coolant? defective thermostat? Heater core plugged, restricted, or airbound? Control cable not working? Water pump not circulating coolant?
Drain the coolant, remove the two bolts holding the thermostate on, pull it out, replace thermostat along with o-ring, refill coolant, bleed air from coolant.
Sure will. Thermostat will stick shut not allowing coolant to flow
