This is very common after installing the olsson block and usually happens when the fans come on which is typically the second or third layer. The problem is that the olsson block is touching the fan shroud somewhere. I would start heating the nozzle to 150C (in case there is plastic in the threads) and then remove the front left thumb screw so you can get good access to the round nut that positions the olsson block height. Also remove the 4 screws that hold the fan shroud and let that hang down by the wires.
Now make sure the nozzle is above 140C and rotate that round nut using something metal, long and skinny. Like a very small screw driver. Rotate it both ways a bit to make sure it isn't at the end of travel and then rotate it such that the olsson block moves up as high as it can go or possibly 1/2 turn less. This whole thing was designed for when you have dual nozzles and you need to get them the exact same height within .01mm. Since dual printing never worked you want the nozzle as high as it can go so the olsson block doesn't touch the fan shroud.
Consider possibly putting a thin strip of kapton tape on the bottom of the olsson block to give it a little bit of insulation between it and the fan shroud.
when you put the fan shroud on push down on it while tightening the 4 screws that hold it on. Even getting another .1mm might be enough to get rid of your "heater error".
Test it by heating to printing temps (say 220C) with fans on 100%. It takes 30 seconds without the nozzle heating up to get the error.
Alternatively get a more powerful nozzle heater - UM2 used to come with 25W heater but some of them are as low as 18W due to manufacturing variability. Get a 35W from 3dsolex or Ultimaker.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
