[QUOTE=BlackWorksInc;1844162]Min: -23.3°C (-9.94°F) (Also the Temperature that shows when the circuit is Open)
Max: 65.95°C (150.71°F) (Also the Temperature that shows when the circuit is Shorted)

It's funny that it will only go to -10F considering that many people will experience colder temps every winter. Our low last night was right around that. On the other hand, it will go to +150F, at which point I will be dying a very uncomfortable death. anyways, thanks for showing where the sensor is, the last time I went through the car wash mine went crazy. After about an hour, it was all dried out and went back to normal.

That's odd. Here is -17F. I saw it go down to -28F, but no photos.

That's what the FSM says... I never bothered to actually check the ranges on it to be honest?

Edit-
Went outside and blasted my 4th Gen's unit with canned air to flash freeze it, went to -22F ... unfortunately it does not seem to want to go back up, even after running it under warm water... so I'm gonna say it doesn't like much more than -22F? lol

Sir, I commend your commitment to empirical research! May your sensor survive the trial.

and as you can tell based on Bilbo's screen, I removed my eco bar via techstream

I might be confusing a vehicle but I thought you could adjust the thermometer readout?

Not sure if mine is off or not; but don't really have to worry about it with the 7-day forecast like this!

Make sure the vehicle is in movement to get the correct temperature, as per the manual:
Quote:
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or the display may take longer than normal to change:
- When the vehicle is stopped, or moving at low speeds (less than 14 mph [24 km/h])
- When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)

Hmm. Rural northern Nevada highway. 4 am. Flat, straight section of highway. Dry pavement. Not another vehicle within a mile (probably within 5 miles). iPhone that will take a snap with one hand. Other hand on wheel. Obviously no time spent getting the correct frame and focus.

I've done worse.
