Fiat Cronos Overheating Bypass Valve Issue

Guys, I'm in a bit of a panic. My 2017 Fiat Cronos, gasoline engine, is acting up. Error memory is storing something about the bypass valve, and the engine's overheating! I haven’t touched anything, I swear. Is my car doomed?

Summary of the thread

A 2017 Fiat Cronos with a gasoline engine is experiencing overheating issues, with an error related to the bypass valve. The problem may be linked to a faulty sensor, which can cause power loss and a burnt rubber smell. The recommended solution is to visit a workshop for proper diagnosis and repair. After replacing the faulty sensor, the car's performance returned to normal, and the repair was covered at no cost.

Bypass valve, eh? I've got a Cronos too. Sounds familiar. Have you noticed any power loss or weird noises coming from the exhaust system?

Power loss... now that you mention it, yeah, it feels a bit sluggish. And sometimes it smells a bit like burnt rubber. What do you reckon it could be then? Should I start looking at the air intake?

Burnt rubber smell isn't good. I had a similar issue, thought it was vacuum system related. Turned out to be a consequential error from something else. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop; they'll have the tools to diagnose it properly.

Thanks! Took your advice and went to the workshop. Turns out it was a faulty sensor causing all the chaos. They replaced it, cleared the error, and now it's running like new! And the best part? Repair was free!
