BamaInArk Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Yesterday afternoon I got into my vehicle and after cranking I noticed the outside temp was displaying -55 degrees. Both on the Dash panel and the Sync 3 panel. Then noticed something was different about the Climate system. AC seemed to not longer work. As I was driving I was fiddling with the Sync 3 panel trying to get things back to normal. I eventually gave up and when I got back to a home location I pulled out my ODB scanner and scanned for any errors being logged...nothing. during this later testing I noticed the outside temp was not displaying -8 instead of -55. I reset a few Modules that seemed connected but nothing seemed to change. I didn't have fuse puller so waited till this morning to go get one from a nearby parts store. However this morning upon cranking I noticed the outside temp indicating normal temp. So now I'm scratching my head as to what was going on yesterday. I was going to reset the Sync 3 yesterday but held off until today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 What are you using to read codes? - I ask because I've got first hand experience of other readers coming up with nothing while FORScan Lite did find codes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Probably the outside temperature sensor failed. It's located behind the front bumper, closer to the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normkol Posted yesterday at 03:06 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:06 PM I've had a similar problem in my 2024 Titanium. Upon starting, it will read 10-15 degrees hotter than it really is, then over about 5 minutes settles down to the real temperature. This causes the A/C to come on when it's not needed. It happened last night, it was about 59 degrees, temp read 73, so the A/C came on. It was at night, so sunshine was not a factor. It almost seems like heat is getting trapped around the sensor, then driving ventilates that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outside air temperature sensor is in the air intake duct, and it will typically be warmer under the hood and cool down when the vehicle is moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
