Ambient air temperature

[Kenwsm]

My ambient air temperature reads correct then i start the car and it stays correct until i drive then rises rapidly to 38c anyone any ideas I don’t think its the sensor in the mirror?

I have same issue since last few days. But even at starting a car temp is wrong.
Did you solve the issue? How and where was the problem?

Hi, i too would love to know if there’s a fix for this ambient temp issue!

i’ve a 2015 TDCi cmax which starts at +5c over correct ambient temperature and rapidly climbs to +10

and i don’t want to change the wing mirror…

 

cheers!

It probably wouldn't help anyway, the sensor is fitted in the Door mirror.

Wing schming same thing 😉

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes, if that doesn't cure it, you need a new sensor
