Here's Harofreak00's experience with a bad outside air temperature display: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18393

One easy thing to do is check your air temp sensor to see if it's clogged or covered up in mud or something, and clean if so. If you need to replace your "ambient air temperature sensor" you can get one at RockAuto for around $15.
