Outside temp
The outside temp displays 31 C (87.8F), but it is actually 26 C (78.8 F). The owner manual indicates there is a sensor located behind the front bumper. I recently put on a new CF splitter and may have screwed up something. Where is the outside temp sensor behind the front bumper? What does it look like?
