Outside Air Temp
« on: 06 June 2009, 19:04:12 »
Just bought a 2000 2.5 v6 cdx. On way home noticed outside air temp showing -40. found this slightly suspicious as there were people wondering around in tee shirts. Checked it again today and now get an F on the left and just the degrees C on the right. Any ideas? ;)

most likely knackered sensor. Only a few quid from dealer.  It lives behind passenger side bumper (prefacelift) or behind middle of bumper (facelift)

Ours has failed the other way, displays about +32C  8-) when its freezin' !

Does the bumper have to come off? Not that bothered about the temperature, but if it's easy to do will get one.

No, (for prefacelift) it's a push fit into a hole about 1/2 " dia on on the passenger side of the car from inside the bumper. If you look on the outside there's a small cut out too.

Check the passenger side. Guessing your`s is a mini-facelift ;)

Omega B (94-03) covers prefacelift and facelift. if its pre 2000, it'll be on passenger side, if it is 2000 or later, its in middle

Check the wiring!

It's worth getting it working because it does more than just display the temp on the display, I believe the Climate Control uses it's input as well.
