sandjunkie Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 It's about 108-110 in SoCal today. Exterior Temp is pegged at 90. Anyone notice a similar problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I wish mine was wrong - but sadly the snow falling indicated that it really was about 32 out. cry cry cry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCat Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Just a thought here, but have you driven it around for a while? Reason being, I had an Acura TL and read a whole writeup on some complicated algorithm that Acura used for measuring outside temps. Basically in order to ensure accuracy (and not read engine heat) the car had to travel over 25 MPH for a period of like 5-10 minutes before the car would sample the outside temperature. And if there was a lot of stop-and-go without a continuous 5 minutes at speed, it could take quite some time before sampling the exterior temp. Also, there is usually some type of service menu that allows for calibration, but generally it shouldn't be off by much. I have a G35 and it consistently reads about 4 deg higher than everything else, including my wife's car and any other signage. Sorry about your superhot temps... not nice for the first week of fall.

sandjunkie Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 That is what I was thinking. I think it was just the short drives without the time to calibrate. Time will tell. In the mean time, I am hunkered down with the AC blasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
