You on about the MID/TID display? Only reads outside temp, sensor is behind front bumper - passenger side for prefacelifts, middle for facelifts

Check the wiring to the sensor for breakages....normaly within the last 200mm before the connector

I had the same problem.  Replaced the sensor twice but it did not fix it.  I started checking the wire for breaks but found none.  However I traced the wires back until I reached an electrical connector box under the bumper just in front of the front passenger side wheel.  When I disconnected the connector a little bit of water came out from inside.  Once I had dried everything out and refitted it, it worked fine from then on.

This happened during a few weeks of very very wet weather and driving on roads with lots of standing water.

I will have a look for that, is it covered by cowling or anything or is it in plain view?

It's in plain view but you might have to get on your back to get under the front bumper to see it.  Just trace the wires from the sensor until you come across the connector.  It's easy to find.

Apologies for hi-jacking this thread a bit. I have found a second plug from following the wiring back I am not sure if it is the connector box you were describing but I think this may be my problem, it had mould & scum all over it as if it had been wet before. I cleaned it up but I think one of the pins has coroded away and broke. See Pics





I assume there should be 4 pins in there????
