I went on a drive yesterday in the canyons and on the way home I noticed my reading for the outside air temp was 120. It was not that warm out, Can someone please tell me the location of this sensor for a 997 Turbo.


I read it was in the passenger side front air intake but I looked and did not see anything, I believe that's for a regular non turbo car.


Hoping it became unhooked or a easy replacement.


Location, Pics ?


Thanks for any information

It's a rubber nipple on passenger side (US version.) guess the main question is why 120? I've seen mine stick to 34f after washing it because of the water on the sensor.

BTW, it may have popped inside and is now near a radiator.

Thanks for the fast reply and the pic,


The reason it was reading 120 is it was next to the radiator, a rock or something knocked it out of the hole. Felt underneath and there was the sensor. It popped back in the hole with no problem. Issue all fixed !!


Thanks again for the information.
