Outside air temp. wrong.
On a 08 Exp. the temp. reads 10 too low. I removed the ambient sensor from in front of radiator, cleaned connection, checked ohms of sensor, the resistance went lower as I warmed it. The temp. read 75 with sensor removed. reinstalled sensor, still read low. Borrowed sensor from wifes 05 Montego. Still reading low. Is there another sensor somewhere? Thanks.

The temp reading is always approximate. You wont get changes until you are rolling 35mph continous. The last reading read will often be the first reading when you start next time and it will normalize as you drive. If you have a problem and are under warranty let the dealer try to fix it first.
