I live in Arizona - got the car in Dec - no issues - now as soon as the temp exceeds 90' - sensor blocked or malfunction displayed - as soon as below 90' - all works fine - anybody else have this issue?

Could just be how hot the surface is and could overheat it, I would assume? Is the car parked in shade or in the sun?

Haven't had any issues like that here. But then again, the temperature around here doesn't fluctuate too drastically, usually around 10-20 degrees F difference between early morning time and high noon. Our region does, however, experience 90-100F temperatures for better half of the year during the day.

Happens when it is in sun -

Id assume surface temp is overheating it somehow. Try parking in the shade during the high temps then drive around and see, Id assume the computers would have time to cool off once the car has been running.
I haven't been past 88 degrees here in NM yet. But I'll be on the lookout
