Check engine light, thermostat and ECT failure S70

I got the ECT 123 code JUST as I was on my way to get the state inspection to finish the registration process on my car. Volvo $100 to replace thermostat... independent mechanic $80-$100 to replace thermostat. Local parts store $6.45 for a thermostat.

I'm hoping that's all it is - sounds same.

Does anyone know if/how long one has to drive to have the codes clear out? Anything I can do to clear the codes? It'll still fail the "test" if the codes are in there.

Thanks
