Hi. The Ambient Temp Sensor is located in front of your radiator, closer to the passenger side. It is not in clear view. It will be behind some of the finish trim, close to the front grill. Hope this helps.
The outside temp sensor is located behind your front grille. Try to look for a 2-wire small sensor. You will need to remove the grille to gain smooth access and to test it. Use multimeter to measure sensor resistance when disconnected. Depending on actual air temperatures, sensor should measure 1.27 kilohms when at 104degF, and 16.5kilohms when at -4degF. The rest of the normal values should be in between these kilohms and temperature ranges.
Well, I would say that it means that SOMEBODY is confused!
Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0072 is defined by SAE J2012 as "Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Low"
DTC P0073 is defined as "Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High"
I do not know how the ambient air temperature sensor circuit could be faulted both HIGH and LOW at the same time.
The only thing I have ever seen cause something like this is when people try to install aftermarket "performance chips" on their vehicles which "lie" to the computer about what the ambient air temperature is.
most ambient air sensors for your inside temp display are in the grille area behind the grille the only other temp sensor for ambient air temp is in the intake duct for the engine.
