I drive a Jeep. Jeep owners tend to skew libertarian & DIY. Owners have found you can bypass or cut power to the modules via fuse pulls. I bet you can do this on other makes.
If anybody cares, I can post more. I have not done this myself.

Please do. Information circulated that attempting to disable modules (e.g. the e-call) resulted in the vehicle returning a "cannot start" or "degraded mode", "core component missing" (or similar).
This thread has links from how to opt out, where Stellantis is selling data, to potential module pulls, and possibly faraday cloth attempts, attaching resistive dummy loads for antennas, pulling 4g modem. [it's a smorgasboard... you're going to have to parse it to find what may interest you]

Anyway, the head unit in my JK stopped turning off when I took the key out - so that was a fun battery-draining episode. I've been waiting for the weather to get nice to pull the head unit and put something else in there, so in the mean time I just pulled the fuse.
Of course the head unit is responsible for publishing outside temperature to the CAN. I don't care that the dashboard says --F instead of a temperature now, but on a cold start, the ECU doesn't know if the oil pressure is high because of a fault of just because the oil is cold. So if I get on the throttle even a little before the engine is warm, I get a CEL now. The joys of Jeep ownership.
JK may have more CEL's than a CJ, but a lot more comfortable ;) but probably slower than the CJ
To me, it sounds like you might have a faulty coolant thermostat. This part physically expands as engine temperatures increase. It’s essentially an analogue part.

I've mainly driven Wranglers my entire driving career and had very few problems
Jeep Wranglers & Gladiators are very similar.
