XRV Bypass Valve Error and Overheating

I've got a 2020 Honda XRV with a gasoline engine, and I'm experiencing some issues. The error memory shows a bypass valve malfunction, and the engine is overheating. Mileage is at 96166 km. I've checked the air intake for any blockages, but everything seems clear. Could this be related to the vacuum system or possibly a coolant leak?

A 2020 Honda XRV owner reported a bypass valve malfunction and engine overheating, suspecting issues with the vacuum system or a coolant leak. Another person suggested checking the exhaust system for blockages, as this could cause back pressure and trigger the error. Ultimately, the problem was identified as a faulty sensor, which was resolved at a workshop without cost.

I had something similar happen with my XRV. Check your exhaust system. Sometimes a blockage there can cause back pressure, leading to overheating and triggering that bypass valve error. It's like a clogged artery causing problems in the heart.

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought of the exhaust system. So, a blockage there could really cause a consequential error with the bypass valve? Is there anything specific I should look for when inspecting the exhaust?

Yes, that's what happened to me. The sensor was just doing its job, reporting the symptom. I'd take it to a workshop. They can use a pressure gauge to test the exhaust back pressure and confirm if that's the root cause.

Thanks for the insight! Turns out it was a faulty sensor, triggering the bypass valve error. Got it sorted for 0€ at the workshop. I appreciate your help!
