Infocenter temp sensor

Post by frenchfries » Mon Apr 24, 2017 4:06 pm

Hi all

I found this pic on the forum but could you confirm that this is the temperature sensor which reports to the Infocenter?

Thanks in advance

Depends which temperature you are referring to, Water, Oil or Air. The outside air temperature sensor is attached to the back of the air intake grille below the front bumper. It can be removed easily by unclipping and unplugging. Resistance varies with outside air temperature. Should be around 900 ohms or a bit less. If it reads more than that, then you will get a frost warning on a warm day! I know how to fix it.
