I have an 02' TL-s. Some time ago I was meesing around with the trip and reset buttons and held both in at the same time. My outside temp adjusted, but I don't know how to recalibrate it.

Does anyone know how do do this? I think it's ~5 degrees off to the high side.

Thanks!

 

First you have to drive around 5 minutes to get an outside temp reading via the bumper sensor. Then pull back in your driveway and have a temp guage set outside there.

Now turn off car, Press and hold trip and reset buttons while starting car- that should bring up the temp adjust

If you do the same procedure while not starting the car- it resets the oil mileage meter

 

there is another post that was started yesterday about this same thing is called "pressing both buttons on the right side of the speedo..."......the title on this thread is easier to say though.........

 

No need to turn the car off. Turning it off and doing it the way you stated will reset teh Main required light.

You just need a accurate temp gauge out side to tell you the temp push and hold in both trip and reset buttons till it changes, then use the buttons to adjust up or down to the temp on the other thermometer. (i believe it will only adjust like + or- 3deg

 

I put my sensor in ice water and checked to see that it read 33 or 34 degrees (it actually read 34 - so I didn't change it). It's a good way of getting the temp to a known constant so that you can verify it's accuracy & adjust if needed.

 

thanks fsttym1
I knew it was one or the other and couldnt find the procedure in the owner book

 

Thats actually the way they tell you to do it in the manual

 

I knew those Acura engineers were smart!

 

A few of them anyway
