Outside Air Temperature Problem
I have a 99 Accord 4 door saloon ES 2.0litre with an annoying problem, the
external temp guage reads 4 degrees warmer than it actually is (Celsius- This is the UK). Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the temp reading. Given the time of year it's good to get an idea of icy conditions. Thanks for all comments and thoughts Eddie (Scotland) |

The adjustment method for 2003 is to hold down the reset select button for 10 seconds with the ignition on, then stop when you have the right + or - change shown. The changes are the difference, not the actual reading. 1999 might be different, good idea to find a shop manual. The procedure is in the body section for 2003, not in the climate control section, as I initially guess. Good thing the manual has an index. Dave |

Sorry for the delay in getting back to the group, i was in traffic coming
home this evening when I suddenly remebered his solution, it was perfect, allowed me to drop 3 degrees and it's now spot on, at least calibated beside my wife's brand new mini!
