it's behind the grill, so it is sensing the temperature of the radiator area of the engine compartment, which will be hotter at low speeds due to less air flowrichardekirby wrote: I was curious where the probe was located on the vehicle because it is really affected by the heat off the engine at lower speeds.

when re-starting with a warm engine, it will read much hotter than the ambient air temperature
I agree, but there has to be a better place. I've never had one be so off at lower speeds or while sitting still. I've owned a wide variety of vehicles with onboard thermometers and none of them have been as drastic as this one.cbacarisse wrote:That's a kinda dumb place to put that sensor, but then again where would you put it.
