Inspection
1.
Ignition "OFF"
2.
Disconnect ambient temperature sensor.
3.
Check the resistance of ambient temperature sensor between terminal "+" and "-" whether it is changed by changing of the ambient temperature.

If the measured resistance is not specification, substitute with a known-good ambient temperature sensor and check for proper operation.
5.
If the problem is corrected, replace the ambient temperature sensor.
Replacement
1.
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
2.
Remove the engine room under cover (A).
3.
Disconnect the connector and then remove the ambient temperature sensor (A).
4.
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
