Just wanted to thank you folks for all the posts, was throwing all these CEL's on my DD 2015 sonic and you folks sent me in the right direction with the diagnoses and fixes.
Biggest culprit seemed to be the P0598 which is the thermostat heater control circuit, this one kept popping fuse 23 (10a mini fuse)
bought this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B083SKY7H9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 whole housing and robbed the thermo housing, it was open box and I took the chance, it was $18 versus even 29 for the cheapest front thermostat housing.
P0496 Which is the purge solenoid either failed after in cascade or just needed replacement, either way replaced with ac delco 214-2317
P0102 Is the mass air flow sensor, which I believed popped because of the 0598 blowing the fuse. Cleaned it with air sensor cleaner just in case.
I took it to a chain shop in the west valley... $1100 service charge... Payed the diag fee and drove home. 2 hours of forum posts, ordered parts at work, got parts today and less than a hour to swap parts.
$87 off Amazon all together (also replaced a cracked coolant reservoir, I liked this one because it has metal tubes molded into hose bibs https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B8X65BG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you ALL!
