ScottC Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Just doing some work to the supra and came across this dangling in front of the air con rad next to the horn. Looks like a sensor with a plastic clip, any ideas what it should be attached too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Common to be left dangling on NA-TT's as there is no mounting point on the N/A chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's the exterior temp probe There is a hole in front cross member that it can clip into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 What is it and what was it attached too? Whoops, sorry:D, as mentioned it's exterior temp sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Some how I knew what you was on about before clicking on the thread. I think I asked the same at some point but as above its a temp sensor for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why does a supra have a exterior temp sensor with no display to display it? Are my missing something here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why does a supra have a exterior temp sensor with no display to display it? Are my missing something here Is it possibly for the stock ecu to use it somehow ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perpy1878 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The button above clock display when pressed shows ext temp or the time. Well it does on my uk spec all part of clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Common to be left dangling on NA-TT's as there is no mounting point on the N/A chassis. I've got one on my NA, it's fitted (clips into) to the front crash bar. Looks standard fit as far as I'm aware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 There's a hole for it on the bottom of the crash bar if you still have that in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Why does a supra have a exterior temp sensor with no display to display it? Are my missing something here It's ambient external air temp - It's needed for the climate control and the UK spec temp display clock.

Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The engine ecu does not use this sensor, as straightsix says, the air con unit reads it, and on UK, European / US spec cars, the external air temp display in the time clock also reads it.
