Ambient Sensor???????

[satans_creation]

Hi my mini cooper 1.6 2002 has a fault!

It reads -40 on the outside temperature but 1. I dont know where it's located and 2. How do I know if it's faulty?

Any help appreciated.

Hi Shane

It sounds like your sensor is broken, it is mounted on the rear side of the front bumper grille so will need to take bumper off. When you do it make sure you check wiring to it is not damaged as this will cause the fault too. I run cars in mini challenge and this is what happens when you get damage to the front and the wires are cut through.
