Has anyone had to replace the Outside Temp Sensor? If so, where is it located at and what did it entail?

Plus has anyone ever had their Service Engine Soon light come on to find out the code the computer is showing an error on deals with the O2 sensors on the exhaust are causing the engine to run lean due to a crack in the plastic covering of the sensors?

Please let me know any feedback.

The ambient temp sensors is in the bumper, by the driver side. Easy to access if you take the skid plate off. Usually weird readings on your dash would denote a faulty temp sensor.

If the 02 is damage or malfunctioning, it needs to be replaced regardless of what's wrong with it. Do you mean the wire covering on the wires? I never heard of plastic on anywhere on the sensor itself, seeing as how it's in the path of the exhaust.

the sensor is very easy to replace if you have a lift. Just rempve the piece where it is...it extends into the front of the drivers wheel well, clip on the sensor, pop it into place, and reattatch the plastic piece.

BavAuto has the sensor
