OAT Temp reads 10 degrees high. Reset Ideas?
So, my OAT temp has been reading about 10-15 degrees high since I replaced the (auto) HVAC controls. I did the battery disconnect and relearn process and everything works fine, except for the OAT reading. Today I tried the fuse #18 pull and power on and then pulled it again and started the engine. No luck. I have checked the connections/harnass for the sensor and they seem to be clean/good. A new sensor is $9 so that's my next guess. Anything else you guys can think of?

Checked the sensor, the resistance was right on the table in the FSM. Took readings at 75 and in a cup of ice water, all good. Sprayed the sensor and connector with electrical contact cleaner and re-installed. Update after next drive.

What about the ground and voltage checks?
