Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0048PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETERNBEL0048S02
1 COOL DOWN CHECK
1. Turn the ignition key switch to the ªACCº position.
2. Cool down the ambient air temperature sensor with water or ice, so that the indicated temperature falls.
Does the indicated temperature fall?
Ye s©GO TO 2.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
2 WARM UP CHECK
1. Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes, so that the indicated temperature rises.
2. With the ignition key in the ªACCº position, disconnect and reconnect the ambient air temperature sensor connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
Ye s©The system is OK.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
NOTE:
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF). When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the dis-
play shows only ª---º.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ªOFFº position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)

If redial fails several times, confirm whether the roaming
agreement of customer's cellular provider at the vehicle loca-
tion is available or not.
WARNING:
IMake sure to turn the demonstration mode OFF before
returning the vehicle to the owner.
IIn the demonstration mode, any service from Communica-
tor Response Center is not available. Therefore, even if
