Ambient Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ambient temperature sensor signal is received by the dual-zone HVAC module and indicates the outside air temperature. The ambient temperature sensor is located in the bottom of the RH exterior mirror housing.
The ambient temperature sensor signal is not the only factor the HVAC module considers for the outside air temperature display. Therefore, the ambient temperature PID monitored with a scan tool may not exactly match the display. Refer to CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSTICS .
