I understand why the engine compartment air temp sensor would be part of the cooling diagnostics, but the OP wasn't getting any temp warning lights; the engine temp gauge simply ran a little "high".

Any idea how the engine compartment temp sensor ties into the reading on the temp gauge on the dash?
