BMW Ambient Outside Temperature Sensor Replacement | How to Fix BMW Temp Sensor: -40° Reading
Is your BMW dashboard reading -40°F or showing a wildly inaccurate outside temperature? This is a classic BMW issue caused by a failed or missing ambient temperature sensor. In this video, I'll show you how to locate, remove, and replace this sensor in minutes.
The sensor is typically located under the front bumper on the driver's side (left side) wheel liner. I’ll show you how to access it, how to repair the wiring if the sensor was ripped off by a curb, and how to reset the dashboard reading.
