How does the ambient temperature sensor work on a jeep?
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor type sensor that uses 5V as the reference voltage from the BCM. When temperatures reach above 60° C (140° F), or if the sensor is shorted 60° C (130/140° F) will appear in the display in place of the actual temperature.
What should the temp be on a jeep EVIC?
When temperatures reach above 60° C (140° F), or if the sensor is shorted 60° C (130/140° F) will appear in the display in place of the actual temperature. When temps fall below – 40° C (- 40° F) or if the sensor has an open circuit, – – ° C (- – ° F) will be displayed on the EVIC.
Why is the outside temp on my Jeep stuck?
Depending on you situation this may be the cause. The system will display the last known temperature when starting the vehicle and may take around 5 minutes at a continuous speed above 40 mph (64.3 kph). Short trips may not give the system enough time to update before you switch off the car.
How long does it take to change the temp in a car?
The system will display the last known temperature when starting the vehicle and may take around 5 minutes at a continuous speed above 40 mph (64.3 kph). Short trips may not give the system enough time to update before you switch off the car.
What’s the outside temp in the Jeep garage?
This morning was the coldest day so far. Temp at 39F, started Jeep, seats and wheel heat came on. This afternoon, temperature is stuck on 40F. Outside temperature is actually around 60F. Any solution before going to dealership?
