2021+ Temp Sensor Location

[Great_White_Buffs]

I've looked just above the air box and under the rear mud guard near the license plate mount and no sign of a temp sensor. Does anyone know any other spots it could be? It's a 2021 model that was bought new.

I would also be interested.

Well I feel silly - the posts I read about it being located under the rear mudguard had me assuming it was viewable just when looking up at the guard. You need to remove the inside portion of the guard on the rear and the sensor is inside there.

Did you relocate it? My temp readings are way off of ambient.

I've just got used to knowing the reading is 6 degrees C high. I've thought about getting the Hitchcock extension for relocating the sensor, but what's the point? I just simply subtract 6 degrees from what it shows and that's that.

I was under the impression it affects the fuel mixture does anyone know if this is the case?
today mine was off by 28*.

You're thinking of the IAT sensor, which is actually a thermistor that used to be mounted in the airbox and its readings, along with MAP are used by the ECU for fuel scheduling. That is totally different from an ambient air temp sensor/probe used for the temperature display.

Unless I'm mistaken, RE ceased using IAT sensors after Euro4 and went with altered cats and Lambda sensors.

I haven't relocated it as it seems more work than it's worth. Like Dlapierre said, it's usually a consistent 10 degrees F higher than ambient on mine.
