Ok, I have less than 1,000 miles on my 2010 Prius and the outside temperature gauge does not display accurate temperature. I do not have any option packages on my Prius other than SAT radio with JBL audio.

I noticed about 5 days ago the outside temperature seemed to be indicating lower than a time/temp bank display that seems fairly accurate. I thought that it was just an quirk at the time.

Now the Prius temperature displays almost a constant 48 degrees F. And the outside temp. today is near 56 degrees F.

The Toyota service rep in my Pennsylvania area said that the sensor is in the front bumper.

I would not like to have the dash removed to service this problem.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I am currently having this problem (today was 70°f display said 46°f all day) but I'm out on a dusty dry lake bed. I suspect a dirty sensor...
