Default Ambient Temperature -22 Degrees

I know this has come up before and I've never seen a solution. This didn't work:

DATE: MAY 3, 1996

MODEL: LS 400, GS 300, SC 400, SC 300, ES 300

Title AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS -22°F

On Lexus models equipped with an ambient temperature display, -22°F may appear in the ambient temperature display if continuity through the ambient temperature sensor circuit is interrupted. Since the -22°F is retained in memory, the condition will persist even after continuity through the ambient temperature sensor circuit has been re-established. Climate control system operation may also be adversely affected.

This condition can be corrected by briefly removing the fuse supplying the B+ power source to the air conditioning control unit.

Do not attempt repairs before performing the following reset procedure:

RESET PROCEDURE:




Refer to the table and remove the appropriate fuse for 30 seconds and reinstall.

IMPORTANT :Some of these fuses provide power to other systems for memory retention. Check and reset clock, radio presets, and memory as necessary.

If ambient temperature display is not corrected, refer to repair manual for diagnosis
Has this worked for anyone else?

The sensor has been replaced and has also been tested and reads within spec.
