I usually clear the codes after I fix a code. If it comes up, then I start investigating why. Other than that, ION is right, it's not the distance, it's the amount of times the car does the self test, but sometimes the code has to be cleared. My Camaro had a cooling code come up, I changed the sensor, but it wasn't "fixed" until I cleared that code. The computer is just picky like that sometimes.
As far as the fans go, one fan is supposed to cut on at 215-225, the other turns on at 235ish. I forget, but it's rare to see both fans on, UNLESS you have the A/C on, in which case the fans automatically turn on.
The other thing might be that the thermostat is rated too high. I usually try to stick with 180F thermostats. I know they come with 195F from factory, but I prefer a cool running engine instead of one that's at 200F all the time.
