I would expect the 850 to have a compensator circuit with gauge to stop it wandering up and down. When it is at a quarter past 3 it is in the safe zone but doesn't actually give true indication of the coolant temp. It only rises from there when the temp is much higher. It's possible that there is a weak electrical component or a poor solder joint/loose connection. Do they attach with a couple of captive screws?. Perhaps find another gauge or that part of the cluster? Robert DIY talks about it here but he doesn't mention the needle staying at 10 past 3.

However, in essence the principle is the same, and your suggestion of using a scanner or similar to read the actual temperature that the ECU is seeing is a good one - I'd want to compare that with an independent measurement of coolant temperature though, to see if there's a difference. My bet will be that the actual true temperature is fine, and that the ECU is seeing (and therefore displaying) a high temperature due to a faulty sensor.
