A weird thing happened today. The temperature in NY was over 100 degrees. I checked my outside temp on the MID and saw it hit 109, and then instead of going to 110 it flatlined, showing only 3 dashes. As the temperature went down, the digits reappeared. Has anyone else had this happen?

 

On my '04 manual TL, it will read to 115 and anything above that results in '---' until the temps come back down which surround the sensor.

 

its just your car's way of saying "its too hot! drive me away from here!"

 

Same thing happened to me today ...no biggie ^ its just too damn HOT !

 

Contrary to some opinion here, "---" actually means "it's so hot the specific temperature doesn't matter anymore."

A small, but crucial, technical difference.

 

Albany Ny, and mine did the same thing lol

 

Happened to me. however i only recall mine doing it above 111 degree. Anyways it is too hot.

Been 110-115 heat index here all week with humidity around 65% and up.

 

Edit: Fixed my repost thread

 

Happened to me recently as well

 

It stays like that here in Oklahoma. It was 95 degrees last night at midnight.

 

I had the same issue today. I usually notice it when I idle too long on a hot day.

 

happens all the time! most ive seen in digits is 115

 

It was so hot the other day I saw the devil in a red TL-S at a stop light.

 

How's your car run with 170,000?

 

Same as my other did with 30k miles. Just took a 1600 mile trip and average 34mpg on the way up, and 32 on the way back (drove about 5mph faster back).

 

lol its funny to see these temps. im in Clearwater Beach Florida and we barely see over 91 or 92. usually upper 80's for the highs all summer long.

oh and some useless trivia ..... it has never been 100 degrees in Tampa FL since they started recording temperatures.

 

Crazy talk! I had to do the conversion to KM as I'm nearly at 196000KM (about 121700 miles), and I was concerned about putting high mileage on the car, but your's takes the cake.

 

I was just in Panama City for a few weeks working, and it was was near 100 every day.
