So..... if you drive like a granny (I can assume LGAFF does not qualify on this count), OR you've changed your thermostat and/or fan cut-in - you won't get a DTC?

I dunno - I have early activation of my fans and I still see temps > 200. Sounds like I need to disconnect the sensor and see what happens.
I also have early "fan on" but don't see temps north of 200 on short drives so in my case I'd not see a 43 (if sensor or ESC were defective) on every drive.
I can tell you that yesterday I hit WOT at above 200 several times on the way back from Home Depot because I chose to go to the one that is a few miles farther away than the one nearest me. I did this ostensibly to test to see if I'd get a 43 but also as an excuse to feel the WOT and to save some $ by shopping in a "no sales tax" US state
