I want to fool my lead to think its hot outside so the bms refreshes SOH in the dead of winter. I am borderline warranty and do not want to wait till May for temp to rise enough for he bms to update the status, like it did last year.

I already fooled the batter temps with heater but I can't get my garage up to more than 42F in this Indy weather
 
Never mind.

It's near the horn. I put a 1.5K resistor in place, restarted the 12V system, and now the car thinks it is 94F outside. Perfect. Eliminating excuses for the car to not update the SOH meter
 
The battery pack itself has several temperature sensors - not sure that the BMS relies solely on the exterior thermistor.
