the stupid outside temp in the dash always displays dashes after I got into an accident with the car... the body shop fixed everything up, but the dash displays --- so i went back to the shop and they ordered a new sensor and replaced the sensor under the front bumper but still, --- is all i get. do i have to do something when the sensor is new or something? or is it just plug and play and it should be working?

 

You may have to adjust it by placing sensor in cup of ice water
the 2 trip buttons on dash are to reset and adjust the temp display and they reset the oil minder

 

quick hijack of the thread, how do you reset the oil reminder, ie the maintance button? mine came on yesterday, and i looked through the manual real quick, couldnt find it, and did a quick search thru here, but yea, no luck. im just short on time today and tomorrow, figured i could pop the question off here. ill try to look for it tmrw again but would appreciate any help. 99 tl-p by the way. thanks!

 

turn the key on
push and hold both trip set buttons till it beeps
about 10 seconds
done

or its hold buttons and turn key on- one resets oil other way sets temp

 

yeah i already did the 2 trip buttons to see if that did anything but no luck.. and the ice water thing i'll try..

i really don't think that that's gonna solve it though, i doubt acura has to freeze new sensors before putting them in.

i hate you for threadjacking btw lol

ps. HELP

 

bump

 

bumppppppppp..please help. i've had this annoying dash problem for a while now..

 

so back to the installing shop you go
They have to make it work- not just put parts on car
