The SECS monitor gets its readings direct from the ECU sensors and, from my experience of Cossie temp gauges, is far far more accurate than the temp gauge.

I would assume that you have a cooling issue (fan switch not working or the usual dreaded melted fuse box issue) rather than the SECS giving false warnings.

Some one will have an instruction manual somewhere.
