Outside Temperture Will Not Update Or Inaccurate

[Carmen Angelo]

Question Is there a thread on here regarding the Outside Ambient Temperature Display not working or stuck on one Temp or its reading inaccurate on the radio / display, my situation is the display is showing 7-10 degrees less  then the Actual Outside Temperature or its Stuck all day on lets say 60 degrees when its actually 70 degrees outside no matter if I am driving long high speed distances or slow down and then regain speeds over 40 miles per hour for longer distances. Also is there a way on the heater controls to reset the Ambient Temp Sensor?

We can't reset the sensor. A flash of the computer with a calibration change does auto set the temp to 32 degrees at it relearns the outside temp, but this is a little different.

 

Have you tried getting a new sensor? What it's doing sounds like a possible failing sensor.

CamGPT I had it at the dealer last week for a oil change and tire rotation the Tech started to look at the connections but couldn't find the problem as it started to work again a day later it's back to not operating or operating intermittently.

Yeah, mine does the same thing. Correct temp in the morning and rarely updates.
I only see it when I start the truck since I use Apple CarPlay for everything.
Also, I'm fairly aware of the outside temp, so I don't need it much.
Still, as you, I would like to know why a proper sensor is not providing correct temps in real time.
I did some research and it all leads to replacing the sensor but you've already done that.
Something I'll call my dealer about on Monday - we might complain about dealers but I have a really great service center at mine.

I have a appointment again with the Dealer on Monday morning for this same problem again. I took photos of the radio screen  I drove for almost a hour before it finally updated then it sat at that temp the entire day. I understand it should show the correct temp when starting up if the truck sits more then 8 hours and will not adjust to the proper Temps untill it's driving 20 minutes over 20 miles a hour. After the initial drive above it should adjust after 5 minutes of driving continuously over 20 miles per hour but my temp just sits on the night before temps and may move a degree then quits for over a hour before it will move.
