OBDII P0128 thermostat question

My 2003 Vibe GT (90000mi) check engine light came on tonite....my OBDII scanner said "P0128" which is "coolant temp below thermostat regulating temp". The car drives fine, runs smooth, coolant/oil levels ok, air filter clean, etc. All other gauges on the dash read fine. Is this a thermostat problem, or a sensor problem or both? Anyone else have this type of problem or OBDII code? The gas cap is tight too. I just had the antifreeze changed about six months ago (roughly about 12,000 miles ago) by a reputable (one I trust) dealer. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and you can also email me at dhatch@myvine.com
