Probably either a sensor or wiring problem with the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor , or ECT for short.

A volvo engine will run for about 30-60 seconds overheated before it is damaged to thousands of dollars of repairs, so be aware that you are driving without a 'warning system'

I will find some pictures to direct you to the connector of the ECT , you can check that for corrosion, otherwise, its a replacement for that component. Its about $50
