Outside air temperature sensor not working.

Just moved my car and the in car temp display is reading 1oC when it is actually 12oC, I'm assuming the sensor is broken, does anyone know how to remove the sensor or have any other tips to get it working again. Thanks in advance....

The ambient air temperature sensor is a NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor that provides the ATC (automatic temperature control) module with an input of external air temperature. The sensor is attached to a bracket on the rear of the bumper beam, on the vehicle center-line.

Removing/replacing is simple...

Many thanks Bobby, that is very helpful. The sensor is working again, if it does stop working I now know exactly what to do. Razz
