You don't have a problem, this is the way all the cars run.

The temperatures you saw with the OBD reader are also normal. Nissan has designed the engine to run in the range of about 88ºC to 95ºC (190ºF to 203ºF).

And please don't post the same question in 2 different sections. That is just unnecessary clutter.

There are always variations in how the ECTs read and what gauges display.

The key is what the true temperature is.

... and your temps (measured via scan tool) are absolutely correct as Dennis has pointed out.

My gauge has always pointed completely flat/horizontal (a little warmer than yours) but my true temps have always been correct.
