I am disappointed they could not resolve the inaccuracy on the temperature reading on my dashboard. It was accurate, and reading correctly according to the outside temperature before I took my car to check on my A/C . They said they replaced my cabin filter only. Apparently something else was triggered or touched that I now have my temperature reading on my dashboard reading incorrect, it s slow to update.
Hi Lisa, we understand your concern. During the service, we replaced the cabin air filter because the vehicle had an incorrectly sized filter installed, and we recharged the A/C system because it was low on refrigerant and the A/C was not cooling properly. After these repairs, the A/C was operating and blowing at 100%.
We did not remove, replace, adjust, or otherwise work on the outside ambient temperature sensor or any components in that area. The ambient temperature sensor is mounted near the front of the vehicle, often behind the front bumper or grill. The ambient temperature sensor it what provides the outside temperature reading to the vehicle, and its reading can fluctuate or take some time to accurately reflect the actual outside temperature depending on factors such as the vehicle sitting in the sun, engine heat, airflow, or changes in outside temperature.
Because we did not work on or disturb the ambient temperature sensor or its wiring, the change you are noticing with the outside temperature display would not have been caused by the cabin air filter replacement or the A/C refrigerant service. The A/C system and the outside temperature reading are separate systems.
