Calibration Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The outside air temperature indicator's displayed temperature can be recalibrated ±5 °F (or ±3 °C) to meet the customer's expectations.

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Select the outside air temperature display and press and hold the SELECT/RESET knob for 10 seconds. While you continue to hold the button, the display will scroll through temperature settings from ±5 °F to -5 °F (or +3 °C to -3 °C) as shown.

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.

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.

Example: Incorrect value = 68 °F (20 °C)

Desired correction value = +2°F (+1°C)

Correct value = 70 °F (21 °C)

Desired correction value = -2°F (-1°C)

Correct value = 66 °F (19 °C)

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