Outside temperature sensor

[Hillgillyz]

Hi Everyone
Can you help me to reset my outside temperature sensor, after replacing my wing mirror, Thanks....x

 

[Garfields]

Probably wrong mirror fitted ?

 

[SVMC15]

If it's on a ducato then then it should be plug and play! What did you have replaced? Did the new mirror come with a temperature probe? Do you have any temperature read out?

 

[scotjimland]

As said above..


it's a simple termperature probe, no calibration or resetting required..

It either works or it doesn't.. but it is important that it works .. apparently the DPF regen needs the ambient temperature feed to work properly ...

Can you see the little nipple sticking out underneath the mirror casing? That is the sensor, depending where you got it from some don't come with them fitted.


This may help

Can anyone tell me where the outside temperature gauge is on a Hymer B588DL is located please

Thanks Everyone for your help...I will check if it's got a probe, and go from there...Andy

My mirrors are similar to coach ones not the ones fitted by Fiat

On my 2006 Hymer A Class it's below the Trauma boiler. It's very nondescript but you can confirm it by putting an ice cube to it and seeing the temperature fall on the control panel

I believe this is only relevent to engines with Adblue. Older DPF systems may even not have a temperature sensor.

Mine is pre-Adblue (just) and has an outside temperature sensor without which the DPF will not regenerate.

I couldn't say for sure .. OPs van is 2016 ... Van in video was 2018

Also, they don't fit a temperature sensor simply to display the temperature on the dashboard .. it may well have other functions.. DPF operation is just one possibility .. why I said it was important to be operational ..

from the Fiat handbook >>

Thanks everybody

I'd start looking at the wing mirrors
However with any A class van, it's a bit of a guess.
Possibly the nearest place to the engine/dashboard where it's not going to be affected by either direct sunlight or engine or cab heating

Thanks everybody

We have a B678DL and as long as you have a temp reading I wouldn’t worry I haven’t got a clue where the sensor is but if I ever come across it I will post on here
Lenny HB will probably know

SpeedyDux scotjimland
just to clarify the sensor question
There are a number of ambient temperature sensors on the Ducato
1 IAT in the MAF sensor
2 with MAP sensor (not exactly ambient but is use to check MAF )
both controlled by engine ecu
3 temp sensor in mirror
controlled by body ecu.
with the Adblue models there are even more temperature sensors( on the fiat they are in a separate Adblu module.)
The temp sensor in mirror has a significance in regeneration of adblu models definitely Peugeot Citroen models. Was this then inherited by the adblu fiats just using the pre existing adblu methodology?
Does it have significance in regeneration of X250 or earlier ? No it was an optional extra on the X250 many with and without but have the DPF.
I suspect the IAT is used for the regen function, why? Because these are all important critical to the engine and are controlled by the engine ecu on the high speed can bus. The mirror sensor is controlled by the Body ECU on the lo speed canbus and is used by electronic climate control and the comformatic.
The information in the X290 Converters Manual implies that (at least for non Ad-Blu models, which it pre-dates) the external temperature sensor is a requirement only when the vehicle is fitted with Automatic Climate Control and/or the Comfortmatic gearbox. Some vehicles are provided as Chassis Cowls, without any mirrors (or doors ) and thus the converter must add a sensor elsewhere. Hence the questions wheres my Hymer A class temp sensor.
Thus the mirror sensor does have a significance but not to the extent of the Doom and Gloom merchants i've read elsewhere (i repeat elsewhere) Pherhaps i should have been more wordy last time.

Nope, but I think it maybe behind the front bumper.
