Do you get Maxtemp or Mintemp? Or something else? Usually mintemp or maxtemp is a loose, broken, or intermittent wire (moving the head around can usually duplicate the problem). But there is some other error that occurrs if the head doesn't heat up as fast as expected.
The head has enough power to melt the brown plastic part made out of PEEK. So if the readings are off by say 50C you can destroy that part and make a mess. If you are getting mintemp/maxtemp then it's probably wiring and I would change over to the spare cable (at both ends of the cable of course - both at the head and underneath at the PCB).
If it's the other error I would test that the head doesn't boil water at 95C and that it *does* at 105C and if that works I would keep my eye on the temp to see if it is bouncing around a lot and if it looks fine then I wouldn't worry too much -- well maybe I would time how long it takes to heat up and ask other people how long it takes for them. You might just have a bad heater wire that means it takes a little longer than normal to heat up. Also it would mean some of the heat is ending up at the point of higher resistance and you may be burning the connector where the heater hooks up.

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.
