Default 21 powerboost overheating message.

Has anyone had issues with the powerboost saying it overheating and to

shut off motor asap when the temperature gauge reads just above normal operation temp??? Have had it come on while backing camper into a tricky spot and while driving to camp with gear in the back on a cool fall day?

I thought the same thing...Perhaps he is confusing the "H" marker line for the actual temp indication.

I don't have any ideas as to why he got a overheat message when the temp gauge was normal....
I really don't have any ideas as to why the oil pressure reads 0 at 2400 RPM !

What you see as oil pressure, is actually boost pressure on the EB.

Not sure what that light is. Almost looks like a blind spot warning system failure light….

That's not oil pressure gauge its turbo boost gauge.And that's my whole question repeated I don't understand why I get overheating when at normal range!! Notice symbol is orange/yellow and not green for normal?

That was on cause of trailer connected not concerned about that. (Blind spot system light)

Yup...I see the yellow water temp Giz..missed that of the first look. Something else might be amiss also. Your fuel gauge shows just over 1/4 of a tank but 64 mi to empty? Doesn't sound right either.. were you driving on an incline?
