It will if the outside air is cold enough and there's enough of it going through the radiator. Doesn't take that much really. Observed in southern New England climate with variable grill block and the ScanGauge engine coolant display.

"under temp" depends on your definition, and the amount of under that you're willing to accept.

We're working to a higher standard - in many respects - than what the EPA and Honda engineers were doing.
