Calibration

The outside air temperature indicator's displayed temperature can be recalibrated ±5°F (or ±3°C) to meet the customer's expectations.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Select the outside air temperature display.
  3. Press and hold the trip button for 10 seconds. While you continue to hold the button, the display scrolls through temperature settings from +5°F to -5°F (or +3°C to -3°C) as shown.
  4. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated outside air temperature is displayed. Example: Incorrect value = 68°F (20°C) Desired correction value = +2°F (+1°C) Correct value = 70°F (21°C) Desired correction value = -2°F (- 1°C) Correct value = 66°F (19°C) NOTE: The recalibration temperature is not the value the sensor sees. Therefore the temperature can only be adjusted ± 5 degrees from the sensor. NOTE: To recalibrate the display to the true temperature, remove the outside air temperature sensor (A), but leave it connected. Submerge the sensor and a thermometer (B) in a container of ice water (C). Select the calibration mode as described above, then recalibrate the display to the true temperature.

  1. Remove the outside air temperature sensor (see «OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST»(ref-351948-S15059786662009122900000) ).
  2. Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance. Then pour warm water on the sensor, and check for a change in resistance.
  3. Compare the resistance reading between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 of the outside air temperature sensor with the specifications shown in the graph; the resistance should be within the specifications.
  4. If the resistance is not as specified, replace the outside air temperature sensor (see «OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST»(ref-351948-S15059786662009122900000) ).

  1. Lift the tab (A) to release the lock, then remove the outside air temperature sensor (B) from the sensor clip. Disconnect the 2P connector (C) from the outside air temperature sensor.
  2. Install the outside air temperature sensor in the reverse order of removal.

  1. Raise the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
  2. Disconnect the 3P connector (A) from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
  3. Remove the mounting bolt, then remove the VSS.
  4. Install in the reverse order of removal.
