Also, the sensors are NTC or "Negative Temperature Coefficient" -- a fancy work that means their resistance goes down as temperature goes up.
If you are reading colder by some amount, it can be an indication of excessive wiring resistance due to a bad or corroded splice, bad piece of wire, or whatever.
But often it's just that the reading won't update due to the VSS not being connected.

Yea I just connected it the other day, is there someway I can tell if its working or not? Like the other day it was really 30 degrees out but the OHC was saying it was 20. So if I have a bad connection with the temp sensor it could alter the reading? Maybe I'll check on that tomorrow then.
Its mounted below the headlight, where it is on the Explorers.

How did you tap in? Did you use "tap splices"? If you used a blue one, get rid of it and get red ones. I casually use blue ones in a bunch of places in my truck and later regretted it -- in some cases immediately regretted it. They just don't tap the thinner gauge wires properly.

2001 Explorer manual
Starts on page 92 of the actual manual , and goes from there
Its just for calibration, so follow that, and your set.
Hope that answers your question.

Yet the OHC in your photo looks like it has a button labeled "Garage". That's for the door opener, right?
What years/trim level did the Explorer OHC have the garage door opener? I know that my '93 Sport did not have the OHC.
If you haven't sold it yet, I may be interested. It's even the right color for my truck. Any thoughts as to what the map light problem might be?
