I'm very sure. Check the FSM to verify (or hold your fingers on the sensing tip and see if the reading goes up). On my '09, it's mounted to a vertical bar that is dead center on the car. Sensor is on right (your left when looking through the grille) side of bar.

I'm not all that worried about it; mainly just curious as to why there is so much difference. The car seems to be running fine. I am a bit concerned about possible long-term damage, but, not freaking out about it.

I'll try letting it cool down longer and see what happens. It will have to be done in the garage - lots of pine trees in my yard and the neighbor's and I don't want sap on my car. I have some small fans that I can use to help air circulation in the engine compartment.

Ah. Thanks for that bit of info.



Thanks for the input. I'll try letting it cool down longer tonight (I have some errands to run today).
