I changed out the AMB sensor on the front of my 98 Infiniti I30 to fix the error reading of -22 AMB. And had no luck :-(.

The ambient temperature sensor is the one in front of the radiator. I suspect it's either broken, or disconnected.

Replaced the sensor. Still not working. How do I test the wiring itself to make sure that hasn't gone bad?

Hey all just found this forum and you guys are describing the exact issue im having. Dealershp found nothing.

For me last week it was 41 outside after a short visit to Walmart the truck was registering 5 degrees. this isnt the first time it happened, but something is definitely wrong.

How did you guys get the resolved? I would love to give more information to the service manager i was working with.

This series of posts was very depressing to read. I have a 2015 Nissan Leaf, I have had it for six months, so there's only 2,200 miles on the clock. The outside temperature reading is completely off. When I drove it this afternoon, the outside temperature was 107F, but the number on the dashboard was 86F. I thought this was the temperature inside the garage and that it would rise after a minute or so, but it did not, it stayed there the entire (shortish) journey, and when I returned to the car 30 minutes later, parked in full sun, it still read 86F. By the time I got home it had risen to 90F, but I know for sure that we had record temperatures today and it was at least 107F, this was just outside my house, it gets several degrees hotter on the blacktop roads in the neighborhood.
So this is a problem that Nissan has experienced in more than one type of their cars over at least the last four years??? That's pathetic.
(There's also a recall out already on my car to fix the passenger seat airbag sensor, basically it is off all the time my son is sitting there. This is not good, and they have no spare parts to be able to replace the sensor yet. I bought the car at the end of the model year, problems like this should have been fixed long before.)
Are these sorts of things common with Nissans? I have not had one before.
