I'm on my third G but this is is my first one to have readings on my outside temp read high. Anyone else see this and what can be done?

 

Mine reads ridiculously high. I assume it must be close to the ground such that it absorbs a ton of heat?

 

Mine always seems really high when I first start the car but after a few minutes of driving it always matches what my phone says the temp is outside. Maybe there is an offset in the settings?

 

The sensor is usually right behind the front grille on most Nissan/Infiniti, it will read high until you get moving as it is being warmed up by the radiator/condenser right behind it. Mine reads 3-4 too high until the car starts moving. Subarus have the same behaviour.

 

Mine seems very high as well. I replaced it with an oem one the other day, and that did not help. Oh well!!!

 

Its too bad someone doesnt make a plug and play relocate kit with an extended wire. I bet if you got the thing further away from the motor it would solve it

 

Mine reads about 15 degrees too high. It's hot in Florida, but it's not 115 out there lol!

 

I think 109 is the hottest I've seen.

We should hijack this into the post your min/max temp readings thread

 

Mine also reads high even after driving for awhile.

 

i have seen 109 this summer on like a 90 degree day.... so yeah. as others have said seems to eveb out longer i drive

 

As others have written the sensor will read high if you've been parked on a very hot day. After you drive a few minutes it will read the same as on my IPhone

Mine read low the other day. It has been high 80's here, the nose of my car was in shade all day, and the temp sensor showed 65 for a very long time, even though it was 85. After about 20 minutes of driving it finally started climbing, but I think it was only at the low 70's by the end of my drive.
The temp sensor in my Titan is perfect, I don't think it is even affected by engine heat or idling.

Anyways, not a prob as usually the temp in my coupe is "good enough for gov't work"

 

 

It's between the speedo and tach, how can you not look at it and observe the temperature???
