Where Is the Ambient Temperature Sensor Located?The ambient temperature sensor is a tool that measures the temperature outside the passenger compartment. It feeds this info to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to help it control the vehicle’s interior temperature.

What’s the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor? Symptoms and Replacement CostThe ambient air temperature sensor is responsible for detecting the air temperature outside the vehicle’s cabin. It uses a negative temperature coefficient sensor, which is essentially a resistor whose resistance decreases when the temperature rises. The electronic temperature control system interprets the voltage received from the ambient air temperature sensor
P0071 Code: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Range/PerformanceThe P0071 code is set when the vehicle’s computer detects a potential issue with the ambient air temperature sensor or its circuit. What causes this code and what can you do to fix this issue? This simple guide will answer these questions and more.
What does the P0071 Code Mean?
