Keep your climate control reading the outside air correctly with the Standard Ignition Ambient Air Temperature Sensor (AX285). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2013 Acura RDX, reporting outside-air temperature to the vehicle's climate-control and information systems so they can adjust settings based on the actual outdoor conditions.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include an inaccurate outside-temperature display, or automatic climate control that reacts oddly to conditions. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the sensor before replacing it; if a faulty ambient air temperature sensor is the cause, this part (AX285) replaces it.
