Outside Air Temperature Error

2006 TL. Temperature reading for outside is about 6 degrees lower than actual. Replaced Sensor, same thing.

Any ideas?

Wrong section, but maybe the dealer can have it recalibrated?

Outside Air Temperature Sensor
Well, I will answer my own post. It was much easier to find the solution by just Googling Acura Outside Air Temperature Sensor Wrong. Answer:
There is a way with the display on the Acura to calibrate. You just have the display showing the Temperature, then you press the SEL/RESET button for 10 seconds. The display then begins to sequence from O,1,2, 3, on up to -3, -2 etc. When you release the button that amount of temperature has been added or subtracted from the reading. All you need is an accurate read of the outside air temp when you do this.
