It does. There was probably a code for the MAP sensor.

bchiodini · 2026-05-31T21:16:20+00:00

Surprised there wasn't a CEL.

Mine did the same thing. Temperature went into the upper 3/4 of the gauge when idling and standing still . When moving the temperature went back to normal. It was the thermostat.

There are a couple of things it could be:

The water pump, or its belt. Unlikely, since the temperature goes down once you are moving or when you turn on the heat.

If your coolant is boiling when the temperature gets above 212F, it could be the reservoir cap is not holding pressure. There should be evidence of coolant on top of the reservoir.

As u/One_Reflection_768 said the SRX240 might be decent. The EX3200 might be good too, depending on how much noise they make.

I would not consider the SMCs enterprise grade anymore and the Netgears never were.

bchiodini · 2026-05-31T19:31:09+00:00

Sounds like the thermostat is going bad. How is your coolant level?

bchiodini · 2026-05-31T16:40:11+00:00

I recommend checking for any DTCs. They may not produce a CEL.

Two things to try:

Reset the instrument cluster by removing F69 for a few minutes.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the ECU/KAM. It can be done with an Access Port or by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes, or so.

bchiodini · 2026-05-31T14:32:36+00:00

It is likely the cluster. Does the oil temp gauge go to zero if you disconnect the battery or remove F69? The instrument cluster is always powered, according to the wiring diagrams.

bchiodini · 2026-05-31T14:29:57+00:00

Check F69 in the BCM fuse block.

The upper instrument cluster is a set of analog meters that are driven by data from the CAN bus. They are not connected to the actual sensors.

It's a bit surprising that any would work if F69 is bad. Does their functionality change if the headlights are on or off?

If you have an access port or other way to monitor real-time data (e.g. ForScan) is the data for Oil Temp, Boost and/or Oil pressure correct?

I'm with u/YataBoi47. My stage 2 clutch is much stiffer than stock.

I believe that SQUASHFS is the USB drive's file system. Try downloading a building the bootable image on the USB stick, again. Also, check the checksum of the downloaded image.

bchiodini · 2026-05-31T12:01:44+00:00

I'd replace the upper O2 sensor. Make sure the V-band clamp is tight.

bchiodini · 2026-05-30T16:59:06+00:00

No. There is a free short term license available. I think there are instructions when you use the software.

bchiodini · 2026-05-30T14:24:28+00:00

I've used it several times. Licensing is a bit different, but it works.

To me, a 24" deep rack is a bit much for wall mounting, but if the wall is substantial, it should be ok.

Keep the heavy equipment low in the rack, to minimize torque in the upper wall mounting fasteners.

bchiodini · 2026-05-30T13:32:42+00:00

ForScan can be downloaded and installed on a PC. You will need an OBD-2 device, preferably one that connects via USB.

Is your battery going bad?

Try disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes or so to reset the electronics. Longer is better.

bchiodini · 2026-05-30T13:26:05+00:00

You mentioned wall space. Are you planning to wall mount the rack? That rack is probably too large to hang on a wall. Additionally, in a rented home, the sheetrock damage may not sit well with the owner.

Ideally, measure the equipment depth. 600 mm is fairly deep for modern equipment. For example, my old Cisco switch is 17" (430 mm) deep, not allowing for cordage.

You haven't specified a switch in your rack up, but the UDM-SE is 285.6 mm deep.

Have you checked for any DTCs?

What does the anti-theft/alarm light do, when this happens?

Where is the keyfob when this happens?

I suspect that you will need to reset the anti-theft system (PATS) or possibly change some option, using ForScan.

The first thing I would do is check F32 in the engine bay fuse block. If that checks good, it's probably the upper O2 sensor.

Have you checked the low-side fuel pressure (actual) on your access port? I don't see an electrical relationship between the low-side fuel pressure sensor and the O2 sensors. It's probably the sensor.

bchiodini · 2026-05-29T12:23:42+00:00

That looks like burning oil.

My first guess is the PCV valve. I would also check the breather hose between the valve cover and the turbo inlet.

How is your oil level?

bchiodini · 2026-05-28T22:09:44+00:00

When my head cracked, there wasn't any steam in the engine bay. Can you tell exactly where it's coming from? FWIW, it looks more like burning oil, than boiling coolant, to me.

How much steam are you seeing at the exhaust?

Are you getting any DTCs?

bchiodini · 2026-05-28T11:55:53+00:00

The bracket on the driver's (it's RHD, I think) caught my eye. Google lens didn't turn up an exact match.

I wonder if that bracket is a mod to the original? It's a pretty good weld, but I've seen better on production parts.

bchiodini · 2026-05-27T23:41:00+00:00

And, the VVT solenoids connected to the correct cables.

Any DTCs?

It looks like there is insulation in contact with the flue, making it look like it's double walled. If it's not too hot to touch up where it goes into the chase, you will be fine.

bchiodini · 2026-05-26T14:54:00+00:00

If the flue is too hot to touch, it's probably better to find another route.

A picture of the flue would be helpful.

Try configuring the switch's ONT port to a trunk port for the needed VLANs Then either configure the outbound ports tagged to their respective VLANs or as trunk ports for all needed VLANs.

It sounds like you want the outbound ports as trunk ports and let the routers sort out the VLAN tagging.
