When I use a cheap scanner I get coolant temps of 213f to 218f driving freeway speeds. stop and go traffic the temperature goes up to 230f. at approximately 228f there is a noticeable increase in fan speed. thinking that the car is over heating I pulled out my temperature gun and started taking readings. the highest temperature I could see with the gun was 190 to 195 at the upper coolant hose connection close to the engine side. looking at the scanner at the same time I saw 233f. i then used a immersion probe in the degas bottle and saw temperatures in the low 180f.
i also noticed that the Lincoln has no coolant sensor just a cyc head temperature sensor.
could the scanner be using the cyc head temperature as ect sensor. thanks in advance.
