Turn printer off and on, go to CONFIGURATION ADVANCED and set the nozzle temperature to maybe 40C. See if it starts out at room temperature (20C?) and moves to 40C. Try pushing on the wires leading into the test head to see if the temperature changes suddenly.
Push the print head to the front of the machine and look from behind - there are 2 cables going into the heater block. One is heater, one is temp probe. Are both still inside the head?
Upgrade to the latest firmware. There is a bug/feature that caused lots of temp probe errors. This is fixed in 15.01.
Also sometimes the heater block is touching the fan shroud and when the fans come on full (several layers from the bottom) the heater doesn't have enough power to keep the nozzle at goal temperature. Check that you can manually set the nozzle to 230C with the fans at 100% (do this by doing PRINT and then choose any print job and then immediately TUNE and stay in the tune menu so it won't start printing. Then set the nozzle temp manually and the fans manually).

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.
