Re: Overheating Weird - Smartest People Needed 2016 XC90

*BOUNTY OFFERED* to anyone who suggests a solution that ends up working OP here still living with my inexplicable overheating problem on my 2016 XC90 spa (please read my first post in this thread).

OBDII Car Scanner - Thermostat reading?

I've been scrutinizing different data available on my OBDII scanner through the Car Scanner app, and some of it I don't understand.

Thermostat Duty (rpm), what does that mean, does a thermostat have an rpm?

When car is on and running it seems to hover around 20 or 30 'rpm'.

Re: Overheating Weird - Smartest People Needed 2016 XC90

Any feedback on the Xemodex ECM process, anyone done it to address overheating issues?

Any other suggestions for this weird overheating issue? I am at a loss on what to try next.

Re: Overheating Weird - Smartest People Needed 2016 XC90

Original Poster back again here, I have now also changed the temperature sensor as suggested in some responses above, and also drained and refilled the coolant again with a vacuum tool, and pressure tested the cooling system. Unfortunately the overheating problem persists. To recap, the entire cooli...

Re: Overheating Weird - Smartest People Needed 2016 XC90

There is no temperature gauge on the dashboard, I have an OBD reader I use to monitor coolant temperature on my phone. I have been monitoring it continuously when driving around. (OBD reader only has coolant temperature not oil temperature). When I stay at 40 MPH < 2,000 RPM, coolant temperature ris...

Re: Overheating Weird - Smartest People Needed 2016 XC90

Thanks for the response, history is: 1. First time it overheated, I take it to dealer, they say water pump is aftermarket (I bought car used 6 months ago), and fan might not be working correctly, they charge me a crazy amount of money to replace water pump, fan and thermostat. They warn "if ove...
