Description
Outside Air Temperature Indicator Logic Update to the outside air temperature
indicator while driving
Troubleshooting
22-279
Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration
The outside temperature sensor is located behind the
center of the front bumper. The gauge control module
(tach) uses measurements from this sensor to display
the outside air temperature.
Because of the location of the sensor, it may be affected
by heat reflection from the road, engine and radiator
heat or hot exhaust from surrounding traffic.
These conditions can heat soak the outside air
temperature sensor and cause inaccurate readings.
Logic has been written into the gauge control module
(tach) to help prevent abnormal or fluctuating outside
air temperature indicator readings.
Initial outside air temperature indication after the
ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
 If the engine coolant temperature is 60 °C (140 °F) or higher when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II),
the outside air temperature indicated the last time the
key was turned off will be displayed regardless of the
current temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor.
 If the engine coolant temperature is 59 °C (139 °F) or lower when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the
current temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor will be indicated. If the temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor is greater than the temperature on
the outside air temperature indicator, the outside air
temperature indicator will increase by 1 °C (1.8 °F) per
minute after the vehicle speed is greater than 30 km/h
(19 mph) for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds. It will
continue to increase until the current outside air
temperature is indicated. So, the first change to the
outside air temperature indicator is 1 minute and
30 seconds after the vehicle speed is greater than
30 km/h (19 mph). If the vehicle speed drops below
30 km/h (19 mph), the indicator will not update again
until the vehicle speed is increased to 30 km/h (19 mph)
or more for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds again.
If the outside air temperature is less than the indicated
temperature, the temperature will decrease 1 °C every
2 seconds (1 °F
every 1.1 seconds) until the current
outside air temperature is indicated regardless of
vehicle speed.
If the indicator displays ‘‘ ’’ for more than 2
seconds after selecting the outside air temperature
display mode, check the outside air temperature sensor
(see page 21-68), or gauge control module self-
diagnosis (see page 22-241).

C
The outside air temperature indicator’s displayed
temperature can be recalibrated 3 °C (or 5 °F) to
meet the client’s expectations. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Select the outside air temperature display.
3. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the trip meter resets, then release it. Press, and continue to
hold, the switch again, and the display will scroll
through temperature settings from 3 °C to 3 °C
(or 5 °F to 5 °F) as shown.
4. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated
outside air temperature will be displayed.
NOTE: To recalibration temperature is not the value
the sensor sees. Therefore the temperature can
only be adjusted degrees from the sensor. 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.

23-6 Audio System
System Description
The audio unit acts as the processor for all audio functions. Select audio functions from the audio unit, the audio
remote (on the steering wheel), or by using the navigation voice control system. The audio display provides the
current audio status. For vehicles with navigation, additional audio information is available by touching the audio
button on the navigation audio screen (See the owner’s manual and the navigation system manual for more details.).
The XM receiver passes its signal to the audio unit. In addition, it communicates with the audio unit via the GA-Net bus.
Any open connections in the GA-Net bus circuit causes audio and navigation functions to appear inoperative.
For vehicles with navigation, pressing the open/close switch on the navigation display panel allows access to the CD
slot and PC card.
A security signal is daisy-chained between the audio and vehicle components for integration into the vehicle’s security
system.
Some audio systems are equipped with speed-sensitive volume compensation (SVC). The navigation or audio unit
receives the vehicle speed pulse (VSP) from the ECM/PCM. The system processes the speed input and increases the
navigation or audio system volume level as the vehicle speed increases to compensate for the various interior noises
that occur at higher speeds. When the vehicle slows down, the volume returns to its normal level. The SVC has four
settings: SVC OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH that can be adjusted using the navigation or audio unit. The SVC comes from
the factory with the MID setting as the default.
To change the audio unit SVC setting, press the tune folder sound knob repeatedly until the SVC is displayed, rotate
the knob to adjust the SVC to the desired setting (SVC OFF, LOW, MID, or HIGH).
To change the navigation unit SVC setting, press the AUDIO button, and then select the SOUND icon on the navigation
display. Press the navigation display to select the desired setting (OFF, LOW, MID, HI).
The navigation system allows voice control for the audio, XM, PC card, and CD player. The GA-Net (audio unit)
communicates the voice control commands. When using the navigation TALK/BACK button, the audio is muted on all
speakers and you hear navigation sound on the front channels. When using the navigation or route guidance (RG), the
front speakers provides the navigation sound and the rear speakers continue to play. For more information, see the
navigation section. The outline of the interruption function is shown in this table.
