GSUSA Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 When I bought this 01, GS430 I noticed that outside temperature reading was -22oF. I found out that wires connecting to ambient temperature sensor were cut and hanging and no ambient temperature sensor present either. When I called many Lexus dealership looking for the connector lot of them in my area told me that I can not buy just the connector that goes into the ambient temperature sensor (which is available and recognized by parts people easily). Some of them suggested that I change the wiring harness which cost about $2000.00 But few know that you can find the connectors and the other little part that goes with it for a total not more than $30.00. I will update the part and part number soon once I am successful in installing and get the right ambient temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part number for the Housing connector is 90980-11070 and the Part Number for the Ambient Temperature sensor is 88790-22131 based off the tag on the package. Of course you need two wires with connectors at the end which Parts people gave me. It works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
