Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration: Calibration

The outside air temperature indicator's displayed temperature can be recalibrated +/-3°F to meet the customer's expectations.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and make sure the outside air temperature is displayed.
2. Press the select/reset switch button for 10 seconds. While you continue to hold the button, the display will scroll through temperature settings from +3° to 3°F as shown.

3. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated outside air temperature will be displayed.

   Each time a desired correction value is entered, it replaces the previous value.

   Example: 

   Incorrect value = 68°F 

   Desired correction value = 2°F 

   Corrected value = 70°F 

   Desired correction value = 2°F 

   Corrected value = 66°F 

   NOTE: To recalibrate the display to the true temperature, remove the outside air temperature sensor (A), but leave it connected. Submerge the sensor and a thermometer (B) in a container of ice water (C). Select the calibration mode as described above, then recalibrate the display to the true temperature.
