Temperature Reading 131 F

[islandtuner242]

my temp. indicator for the outside temperature is constantly reading 131 degrees and i wanted to know the location of the sensor that relays this information to the dash and where i can find a replacement (if possible)

Dealership is the only place I've found a replacement sensor (RockAuto had them, but were on back order). Believe they were $50+.

It is located behind the grille, believe the Grille has to be removed to replace it.

Believe its Ambient Temp Sensor

You might try resetting the BCM( body control module). This controls the sensor and numerous other electronic functions in the car. Remove the positive battery cable for five minutes and then reconnect. Warning: You will lose your radio presets. This might save you a trip to the dealer and some cash.
