Thermometer Limits?

Thermometer Limits?
Does the TL's outside temperature thermometer only go to 99 degrees? We're in a hot spell with temperatures over 100 and all I get is --- on the display. Is this normal?

IIRC, there was a TSB for this issue (where the temp wouldn't read above 99*).

I thought the temp display maxed out and showed "---" at 105* or 115*
(I can't get to an Owners Manual to check the max display temp).

If it gets too hot while sitting you get ---. I have seen 115+- on mine when it gets that hot outside here on a regular basis. It can only cool down a few degrees per mile so it will read correctly again over time if you keep driving.

It's an easy fix. Either remove the negative battery cable for about 3-5 seconds, or remove a fuse (not sure whether it's fuse 7 or 21 but do a search on "flatline" and you'll turn this info up).
This happened to me 7 weeks after I bought my '04 and some other members have seen this happen as well.

I have seen mine hit 115. Over the past week, it has frequently hit 102 in several places around where I live. And I know it's accurate because back when it failed on me seven weeks after I bought the car, I calibrated it myself.
