See pic for location. It is the same temp sensor the A/C ECU uses for its calculations

LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT

When turning the power switch on, the meter ECU turns on the low ambient temperature warning light
for 3 seconds for the bulb check.


The meter ECU determines the ambient temperature with the ambient temperature sensor signal from
the air conditioning system. The meter ECU turns on the warning light, which blinks for 3 seconds and
then remains on when it determines that the ambient temperature is below 3C. The meter ECU turns
off the warning light once the ambient temperature increases above 5C.

Sorry to seem stupid, but I just joined this site and can seem to find out how to post a new message. Can you help?
