The readout on the mini-computer sits at 0 and has for a number of years. Everything else on the mini-cumputer works.

    This sounds like the ambient temperature sensor that tells you what the outside temperature is, no? It is located in the front grill area behind the front fascia on the radiator support. It gets damaged pretty often and then it will read zero degrees outside when it is over 100, sound familiar? You can get the part at the Dealership and it is pretty easy to replace.
