Temperature gauge 1.5 lines above half

[Surfo]

Hello I have a a 2006 Jeep liberty, since I bought it 4 years ago temperature gauge has been 1.5 lines above half, is this OK I have replaced radiator, complete flush and replaced thermostat! might the gauge be broken or disadjusted?

Any ideas?

if not, it might be your coolant temperature sensor

The temperature gauge is approximate.
Mine is generally around half, but I have seen it go upwards in summer stuck in traffic.
I have a Autel reader that I can plug into the oBD2 port that gves me the exact water temperature.
In the photo below you can see the Jeep is at 215F.

This is a good way to know what the real reporting temp is.
