anyone have any idea where the temp sensor would be that detects the outside air temp..?? no problems, just curious. asking because i would have to imagine that it would be somewhere not affected by any outside influences...such as heat from the sun.

 

Its located in the right front of the vehicle tucked up behind the bumper.

 

thanks....was just wondering because i figured it had to be a SPECIAL place where heat wouldn't end up giving phony temp readings...........

 

Theory is: it's next to the "cool air" intake, so the computer can compute.

 

LOL, mines read 115 on an 85 degree day.

 

I always found mine off by 5 degrees..usually on warmer side

On my SS I have the outside temp and an intake temp(on the RPD). In the45-70mph range , the intake temp will range about 3-5 degrees higher than outside temp.
(it will vary a little depending on conditions)

 

So can the temperature sensor be re-calibrated since it is so frequently inaccurate?
