Does anyone else's outside temp reading completely suck?

Example mine has been stuck at 58* degree's from this morning until now.  It's fricken 76*.  I've had it get stuck a few times at various temps.  I've tried doing a "master reset" on my sync.  NADA.....

Fricken $47k car and it can't read the outside temp correctly.

Yes, it's highly annoying.  I have noticed that my A/C sometimes isn't working properly when it's reading significantly lower than actual.

Dealer says it's normal, but none of my countless Fords with climate control dating back to '93 have had this issue.  I had all body modules updated, but still not fixed.

Mine just did this starting this summer.  It's only happened a few times but it does eventually read the correct temp, 5-10 minutes later.  Definitely annoying as the auto temp control doesn't work correctly when it thinks it's much cooler outside than it really is.

99% of the time it reads about 10 degrees warmer than it really is outside.  Doesn't matter what the outside temp is, hot or cold, it's always reading 10 degrees warmer.

The other 1% of the time, it's completely off.  It might be 40 degrees outside and it will read like 115 or something crazy.

I figured it was just my sensor, but i guess they're all junk.

I would try removing the Negative ground cable on the battery for 30 min or try performing a Kam Reset. Z   ! No longer available

Hopefully it doesn't become a necessary habit.

I doubt that it will help based on the fact that I had a whole new strategy along with all body modules updated and the problem persists.  Worth a shot, but...

Yea, I mean I've had my sync reset at least 35 times with re-flashing the car.

Carbon buildup on the back of the AAT sensor ...  Walnut shell blasting ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Where is the sensor.  If it's cheap I'll just change the damn thing.

Maybe the connector just needs cleaning/greasing!  So many projects you can do with the bumper cover off :D

I think that little sensor needs to be calibrated through IDS.IDK.  Z

Be forewarned. I replaced my sensor.  Still doesn't work right . Always reads about 8 to 10 degrees high.
