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?

 

mine wont go over 80... need to talk to a dealer.

 

No- the outside thermometer should go higher, but "---" shows up when there is a problem. Mine once read 104*F, then "---" for a short time before stabilizing and dropping to 102, 101, etc. as the afternoon waned.

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).

 

ours maxes out at 115. anything above that it displays "-----"

 

Mine was reeading 112 on saturday! i will check later today

 

i have seen mine goes up over 100F before, but don't know or haven't see the max temp.

 

x2
Mine has never read higher than 115.

 

104 max here...but i believe the max is 120? i had mine replaced though under warranty b/c of the "---" readings...

 

Same thing happened 2 me yesterday... when I got into my car it waz reading 99 then it showed ---, then it read 103. That's my max so far...

 

Mine displayed 104 at lunch today.

 

mine never read over 99F, anything above will read "---". so bring it back to dealership since it is still under warranty?

 

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.

 

mine went up to 110 yesterday

 

My 04's maxed out at 115. Don't know if this changed with other MY's. I'm not sure about my 08 yet.

 

Mine was definitely at 104 yesterday... I was confused at first by the triple digits, actually skipped by it when cycling through the display options =P.

 

If it flatlines and continues to flatline, not returning to displaying a valid temperature, you need to fix this. Otherwise if your car sits for, say a week, expect your battery to be dead as a door nail.

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.

 

lol wow crazy. the highest i seen on mine is like 70.

 

Mine was reading 103 Last year.

 

Mine showed 108 on Saturday.. never seen it that high before

 

111 is my max then its ---. How bad is it that this discussion is happening in June rather than July or August?

 

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.

 

mine has hit 110 max, and 0 the lowest. It won't go past 0.

Forgot to add my HFL bluetooth was going totally insane in this kinda heat.
Yes more insane then usual.
