The air temperature sensor works regardless of your location. It does take a fraction of a minute to calibrate, however.

How do you replace the temperature sensor on a 406?
If you're referring to the outside ambient temperature sensor, it is located in the bottom of the passenger side mirror. You'll feel a little pea-sized bump on the bottom of the mirror, and the sensor is behind that. You have to dasassemble until you can pull out the sensor, then clip the wires and solder the replacement into place.
Why Garage door opener not closing?
If you have a garage door that opens and closes electronically, then check the side of your garage closest to the door for sensors that would be on both sides of the door. If the sun is still out, and shining into the sensors, that may be why. To fix this, stand outside your garage, and arrange your shadow over the sensor, then press the button. Your shadow must be over the sensor until it is finished closing, otherwise it will not work. If this doesn't work, it probably needs to be repaired.
Why does a 1996 Plymouth breeze start and run until it gets warm then stalls and wont start again until it cools off?
A 1996 Plymouth Breeze that starts and runs until it warms up, but then stalls might have a problem with a temperature sensor. The sensor is telling the computer that the temperature is too high for the engine to operate safely. Check the Electronic Temperature Sensor or the Manifold Pressure Sensor (MAP).
Why does your 92 Camry LE V6 idle high when you first start it up?
If it's cold outside, it's because ECU use ambient temperature sensor and coolant sensor to manage RPMs. After you start the car the coolant temperature is low and ECU sets RPMs very high, when it gets warm RPMs drop down until engine reaches operating temperature.
Will oxygen sensor keep 1996 blazer from starting?
Nope. The computer doesn't even look at the oxygen sensor until the oxygen sensor reaches operating temperature.
How do you align an infrared garage door safety beam?
You have a sensor at each track. Each sensor has a red or green light. Move the sensor until the light turns green. Use a string if you have to. The sensors have to "see" each other.
Does temperature of a solid ice increase when placed outside the freezer?

What would cause a car to run poorly until it reaches operating temp?
I would test the temperature sensor first. Then have the car scanned.
How does a sensor cature data?
It depends on what it's sensing. Thermistors are used to measure temperature. Other sensors depend on physical actions. Bump sensors are triggered when an object pushes the plate until the sensor is triggered.
Your fan wont turn you changed thermostat sensor and relays and you know the fan works you hot wired it?
Some of these fans will not engage until the heat sensor gets to a certain temperature. The engine needs to be hot for the fan to come on.
