Canon20D Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The other week, I noticed that the outside temp gauge was off, as it was around 65 outside, but the gauge was reading only about 36. This was only after a few minutes after I started the car, so I decided to see how quickly it would jump. It took another 20 minutes to get up to the 50s and by the end of my 45 min trip it was finally reading the 60's it was outside. My question is, is this typical? Another LGT owner said his didn't take this long, and I've never noticed this before, except when I first start up and it shows the last temp outside (if that is what it shows when it first starts) but its been since "Spring has sprung" and the temp swings 20 degrees between the night before and the day time that I've noticed this "lag" in temp I've watched it a few times now, and it'll be 20+ minutes to go up 15+ degrees.. That normal? What could I check?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 mine is usually about 5° higher than it really is, but it fires up to that temp almost immediatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el5y Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 This has been discussed before I'm pretty sure but the outside temp gauge I tihnk changes 1 degree every X number of seconds. I thought it was 10 seconds but maybe its 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate510 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 My gauge is reading completely wrong. It will read 63 on a hot summer day that is way above 85 degrees. It was slightly slow before but now it won't read correctly at all. Its so bad that its messing up the way that the HVAC is working as well. I usually set the car to 70 and everything is great. Now the car thinks that it is in the low 60's and I have heat coming out on a hot day. So days the temp reading is correct, but most days its wrong. Anyone else see this problem? Any advise on how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Unfortunately I installed the FMIC core on top of the temp sensor. It reads a good bit higher than the actual temperature once I've been driving for a little bit. I'll fix it at some point, just been too busy/lazy to bother taking off the bumper again to fix it.
