Insignia Overheating Bypass Valve Error

My 2017 Vauxhall Insignia, gasoline engine, has a bypass valve error and is overheating at 238274 km. Coolant levels are fine, no leaks. Could this be related to the vacuum or exhaust system? Similar experiences?

Error codes and overheating are never good. Any engine stalling or rough idling? Have you checked the vacuum lines for cracks or leaks? Even a small leak can cause issues.

No stalling or rough idling, but the engine lacks pep. I haven't inspected all vacuum lines. Did your error specifically point to the bypass valve?

The error pointed to the bypass valve, but it was a faulty sensor causing the bypass valve to malfunction and overheat. I'd recommend a diagnostic check at a trusted workshop.

I'll schedule a diagnostic check. The error was a stored error that wasn't cleared after the original repair. The repair cost came to 0€ since it was not a new error. Thanks!
