So, you guys are saying that I'll need to replace it - right?
Like Rosanne Rosannadanna said, "It's always something!"
Thanks for the help!

another possible
That is about the temp it says when the connection to the sensor is open.
There could be a break in the wiring.
I would probably put a 100 ohm resistor across the pins first to see if the temp changes.

Hope the sensor is all that it is. Good luck with the repair.

I found this on Fred Bean's site. It is the ambient temp sensor, right?

How does this Work? What is sequence?
I am getting all kinds of weird errors on mine. Anyone acutally know the 'flowchart' of how it works, updates itself, how often, etc?
I already replaced one sensor, and jus the other day put some dielectric grease on the connector (didn't change anything).
One minute I can be looking at a temp near accurate, and next thing it's 20 degrees off on the low side. Then one thing I've noticed is driving one certain route every day, the temp indicator starts moving upward every day at exactly the same spot in the road, which is very odd!
Would help to know how this 'system' works.
