My Honda Odyssey ran with the needle 1/3 of the way up its gauge all the time. This just seems to be a manufacturer thing. It weirded me out after having several Chevy Ventures where the needle sat in the middle.
Mine appears to be staying at 80 (really cold weather at this point (2019 passenger). I was wondering the same thing as you.… I have noticed that the normal operating temperature of the vehicle seems to be 90C …
Welcome to MetrisForumBrand new owner here, less then a week. I found this forum just for this question. I did a search to not start a new thread, but this is the only one i could find. Seems my new van, the temperature needle is at the mark just above horizontal. That seems like a weird place to put the normal operating temp, but its like this on all vans? Thanks for any others that can verify this.
Dash displays of coolant temperature at least analog displays are at best just an indication of temperature. My experience with a number of cars since 1996 (when OBD2 appeared) monitoring coolant temperature via an OBD2 scan tool connected the car's OBD2 port is the gauge is at best a sort of kind of way to know if the engine is cold, warm or hot (up to temperature hot). In the event of a real overheating condition there'll be a warning light or a warning message or both.Brand new owner here, less then a week. I found this forum just for this question.
