where is ambient temperature sensor ?
Hello,
The outside temperature of my dashboard is showing -2 eventhough it is 17deg outside, it doesn't happen all the time, it is intermittent, I wonder if i need to replace the ambient temperature sensor ?
Behind the grill, I found this sensor surrended in red, what is this sensor ?
From I can find online, the ambient temp sensor is located behind the bumper not behind the grill, so I wonder what is this sensor near the horn if anyone know ?
vehicle : Discovery 4 HSE landmark 2016.

The sensor is behind the front bumper, pop out the driver side head lamp and you'll see the plug underneath. Might just need a clean of the contacts.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

thank you, I have removed the front towing hook cover, and luckily I was able to see the temp sensor hanging...

I was able to replace it fairly quickly and attached it back with a cable tie, apparrently it should be on the rusty metal mount on the picture but seems to be broken.
I will let you know in few days, but at first sight the external temperature seems more accurate now.
Note : the part costs £20 incl. VAT at LandRover dealer, part number JTF000052

It didn’t make any difference…. There is a massive difference in the temperature showing on the dashboard, 10deg difference and when on the motorway it fluctuates so much (every few minutes).
Back in town, still 10deg difference.
