03 Pilot EX Outside Temperature Indicator Logic

If you’re getting complaints from owners of ’03 Pilot EXs that the outside temperature indicator doesn’t read accurately, you may just need to explain how the logic works. The temperature sensor for the indicator is mounted behind the front bumper. Because of this, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road, engine heat, and even exhaust fro surrounding traffic. To prevent bogus readings, the display uses a specific logic. Here’s how it works.
You can also force the indicator to display the measured temperature. Just turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the No. 13 (7.5A) Starter Signal fuse from the driver’s under-dash fuse/relay box for 60 seconds, then reinstall it. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and you’re looking at the measured temperature. But don’t forget, when you pull the No. 13 fuse, you must do the idle learn procedure and initialize the driver’s window auto up/down feature.
Thump From Sloshing Fuel
Is OK On ’99–03 Odysseys and ’03 Pilots, if your customer complains of a thumping from the passenger compartment when accelerating or braking, the culprit is probably sloshing fuel. When the fuel level is between 1/2 and 3/4 full, fuel sloshing in the long, narrow fuel tank can make a definite thump sound. This sound can’t be stopped; it’s just a normal characteristic of the vehicle.
