Why is the outside air temperature sensor stuck at 50 degrees?
The temperature reading next to the clock is constantly stuck at 50 degrees. The outside temperature is above 80 degrees so there is definitely a problem. I can’t even figure out where the sensor is located to check for a loose connection.
How to calibrate the outside temperature sensor?
Calibrate the outside temperature sensor? Anyone know how to calibrate the outside temperature sensor? Ours is about 10 degrees off…it was nearly 50 degrees and it was registering 40. Try pressing the AC and Recirc buttons at the same time.
What are the symptoms of a bad ambient temperature sensor?
When the ambient temperature sensor fails, there will usually be a few symptoms that may alert the driver that a problem with the sensor has occurred and it should be inspected or replaced if needed. 1. The AC auto mode will not work
How does the outside temperature sensor work on a car?
The time and rate of the temperature update is based on an algorithm in the instrument cluster. Factors such as last temperature reading, current temperature reading, length of time the vehicle was off, current vehicle speed, and the distance driven effect when the displayed temperature is updated.

What should the temperature be on the IAT sensor?
Turn on the engine. Check the live data and check the temperature of the IAT sensor. Typically, the temperature readings should be 10 degrees more or less than the vehicle’s ambient temperature, depending on the outside temperature and the temperature of the engine.
What to do if your intake air temperature sensor is not working?
If the readings are not realistic, there could be a problem with your IAT sensor or the wirings to it. Try to clean the intake air temperature sensor carefully with brake cleaner or electric cleaner. Make sure that the connections are correct and the wiring is in good condition. Check once again if the readings are fixed with your OBD2 scanner.
Why is the air temp stuck at 28 C?
Today the temperature reading stuck at 28 C (82 F). It’s a really hot day (95 F). I never had this issue before. Yesterday I had to re-flash the tune using COBB Accessport and I guess this somehow resets the whole system (sort of like unplugging the battery).
How long does it take to update the outside temp?
The outside temperature display located in the cluster will show an inaccurate reading (typically off more than 10 degrees F.) but will eventually update. Update time will appear to be delayed and could take longer than one hour depending on driving conditions.
How to know if your car temp is wrong?
Click to expand… Don’t compare the temp with an app. Use a thermometer known to be accurate. The temp seems to jump in 2 degree increments at times. The refresh rate is also very slow. If it’s more than 5 degrees off and it wasn’t parked, there may be an issue with the sensor.
Why is the outside temperature gauge off on my Dodge Ram?
I know some have posted that if the truck sits in direct sun light it can effect the temperature as much as 20 degrees but this wasn’t the case for me since I have been parked in the shade. Would it be beneficial for me to reset the computer by disconnecting the battery in hopes to remedy this issue. Any input would be appreciated?

What’s the outside temp on a Dodge Wrangler?
The Wrangler I had before this if left in the sun would say like 117 when first started until it would go to it’s correct 92. rvance and PNWramguy like this. That has always been the case but for two days it would drop to -5 degrees and up to 50 degrees all in a 5 mile stretch of road, just all over the place.
Where can I find the outside temp sensor?
2017, right before they redesigned… The reset procedure “could” work and might still be worth a try… Looking at the Equinox however, the outside temp sensor has no…”direct” relation to the HVAC control module. The outside air temperature can be accessed through the driver information center Trip/Fuel switch function.
How to update the ambient air temperature display?
To update the ambient air temperature display on the HVAC control module, perform the following procedure: Turn ON the ignition. Simultaneously press the A/C and Recirc switches for 5 seconds. Perfect, I will give that a try. This is the wife’s Equinox…can’t even remember what the dash layout is.
How can I reset the outside temp on my dash?
Unplug the battery cable for 30 seconds. Turn key on and off. Put battery cable back on. This appears to reset the sensor. Works perfect now. Not working for you still? If you need to replace it is located on the passenger side behind the grill.
What’s the outside temp on my 2017 Mustang?
Orange Fury with cobalt blue stripes, and all the Clear Film and ceramic I can afford. Same here. 2017 EU spec Mustang EcoBoost. Today the temperature reading stuck at 28 C (82 F). It’s a really hot day (95 F).
What happens when the outside temp is too high?
If the engine was not off long enough or the current outside air temperature is higher than the stored value from the previous ignition cycle, the last stored value of outside air temperature taken will be displayed.
Why does my thermostat display the wrong temperature?
4 Common Reasons Your Thermostat Displays the Wrong Temperature: 1. Your thermostat sensor is malfunctioning. Your thermostat itself might be to blame for reading the wrong temperature. In many cases, this can be fixed by having an HVAC professional calibrate the thermostat.
What’s the outside temp of my truck in 2016?
2016 Outside Temperature Wrong… So my 2016 Crew Cab with the Mylink displays the outside temperature. A couple days ago I noticed when I started up truck, it displayed the outside temperature as 60 degrees. The actual outside temp was just a little warmer than that.
Why is the outside temperature on my phone wrong?
The outside temperature display takes too long to update. The outside temperature display shows 32° F (0° C). This concern may have started after disconnecting the battery or reprogramming a module. The ambient temperature uses an algorithm that delays updating the display until certain conditions are met.
