Climate control temp fluctuating.
Hi,
I have this strange problem (or maybe not a problem) where the temp is slightly fluctuating on my center console. For example, i set the temperature to 22.5C on both the passenger or diverd side. In a day or 2, i will noticed one of the side being at 23C. The jump is always only 0.5 degrees. The problem is really rare and i never actually witnessed the moment it changes.
I have called a local dealer and explained my situation and they mentioned that it's not a normal behaviour and it would be something very hard to diagnose given the frequency. On the other hand, I called Lexus Canada and they said it's normal because it's actually reading the cabin temperature. Once the temp is set, the read out acts as a thermostat measuring the air temp. Has anyone noticed this on their 3IS? I have never seem the temp setting change in my 2008 ES.
Thanks.
