Ambient temp sensor, yes again!
I have two hhr's now. The wife has a 2006 and i have just bought a beautiful red one 2011.
My (2011) outside temp is ----f. The coolant reads fine and the ac works. I bought and changed the sensor ($9.00 at autozone) By the way mine was on the drivers side in the grill. No need to remove anything. I drove to church and back, about 40 minutes each way, some highway. It still reads the same. I have read all that I could find about this here, but no luck. Any ideas?

Follow the wires to ensure the ground is clean and tight

What seemingly irrelevant thing has been done recently?
When I got the recall done my temps acted funny for a while. |
I will follow the wires this weekend. I tried resetting the computer by taking the fuse off at the battery. Drove it around a hundred miles. Mostly highway. No help. This was this way when I bought it.
Thank you for any help! |

Curious here. Are you sure you changed the correct sensor ? The ambient temp sensor? Everthing I've read and seen shows this sensor to be located under the passengers side headlight, mounted on a frame rail.
I know mine is located here. Attachment 16837 |
I agree with George. I have not seen the temp sender behind the grille before.
|
They moved it, in 2009 0r 2010, I know my 2011 is driver side lower grille.
Very easy & cheap to get to and change. |
Good info to know donbrew. Must not have gotten moved on the SS's though. My 2010 still has it mounted in the place pictured above.
Since the OP has a 2011, I guess he was correct about the location of his. |
I didn't know that. Learn something new every day. :thumb:
|
I just know the 2008 LT was behind the bumper and the 2011 LT is plain as day visible.
