Exterior temp sensor

[dannan98]

Similar to what leads me to join (Google searched). Have code for outside temp sensor P0073 Ambient air temperature sensor high output. Verified sensor is plugged in and no wire chafing, also verified obd2 port is seeing correct temperature through pcm with Bluetooth scanner Torque app. Guessing 2nd trip to dealer is needed (first is other thread about brake lights), starting to get old sending it in to dealer already with just 1k miles.

Anyone else or any ideas?

Update. Took apart wire harness that connects this sensor and the 2 small amber lights in the bumper and put dialectic grease and reconnected. Temp sensor working now. Connector is on passenger side in front of wheel behind in fender liner.

Behind passenger front wheel well, behind the fender liner is connecter for main harness that was my issue. I cleaned and dielectric grease issue went away.

Related to this the temperature read out on my touchscreen will sometimes read some crazy number in complete disagreement with what is in my dashboard screen if they are using the same temperature center I wonder how this is happening?
