Outside Temperature Sensor?????

[drifto]

Where is it located?

Can it be callibrated?

Mine seems to be about 4-5 degrees over all the time but it also gets some serious heatsoak from somewhere.

If the cars has been parked in the sun or even left in the garage after running then the outside temp reading can go into the 30's on a 10 degree day in Canberra! :flamed:

It's located in front of the radiator on that pillar thingy that has the latch for the bonnet on it. Little black box with wires comin out. Sorry cant be more specific....bit pissed

mine is actually on the front where the air con fan is. on the top side of that there is a black thing with wires coming to the middle under the latch that you can un plug. don't know if you can change it but you could move it from there.

Mine was on the front bar amed inwards.

I think u can calibrate the temperature of that. Not sure but in know u can do some sort of calibartion on the climate control unit.

So sorry to bring up an old thread but...

Ran an air conditioning diagnostic test and it comes up with a flashing 21. This means that the outside air temperature sensor is faulty or missing.

My ambient temperature is displayed as -30c.

I searched and searched on here but did not find a picture of said sensor. Many people have said it is located behind the front bar.

I found a plug with nothing connected to it, so one would assume this is the plug for this sensor. The sensor isn't there at all as far as I can see. It is a two pin plug, wire colours are light blue/white stripe and light green.

Does anyone know if this is the plug for the OAT sensor?

I think this is the OAT sensor and the plug that it's connected to:

It's not in the factory spot (due to the green cable tie!!!) but at least you'll know what it looks like... It should be somewhere there though.

Hope it helps.

Cheers.

Thanks so much for your help. The plug that I found was in the location that the picture shows. The plug in the picture looks very similar to the one in my car also. The sensor is nowhere to be found, so I assume someone took it out in the past sometime.

I'll ring Nissan tomorrow to see if I can get a replacement sensor.
