Default Re: Outside Temperature Accuracy

I noticed that in my 99 XLS as well. It's not accurate when the car has been sitting in the sun or parked in the garage. Takes it several minutes before it starts to register close to what the actual outside temp is. More noticeable in the warmer months than it is in colder months. Just seems to take a little time before it gets to the right reading.

But usually it's within a degree or two of most of the other outside temperature signs, like at the banks and buildings that have those electronic temp signs as you drive by.
