Ambient temp sensor temporarily shows wrong value
I have a X3 F25 2013 model where the outside temp sensor shows different wrong outside temperatures from time to time. Itīs different values from time to time when it shows wrong temperature. Could be as simple as a faulty sensor, or should it then be showing a fixed minus degree temperature (with short circuit, loose cable or similar)?
Anyone with the same kind of issues? |

I've noticed that whenever washing the car with a high-pressure water gun around the front bumper and grilles, the outside temp will then read 5-10 Deg C (9-18 F) too low for about 15-20 minutes while driving and then come back to the normal consistent 1-2 Deg C too high.
Figured it was just the sensor getting wet and being cooled by evaporation until it dried off again. |

Similar issue on mine: when I start it shows -40°; driving temperature goes on correct values and when I stop shows message again (low outside temperature).
Any ideas? |

EDIT wait: you wrote issue coming from the front right of your car; temperature sensor is in the lower left grille and my warning come when I use the high-pressure water gun around the left PDC. So maybe the problem is not from a bare wire (I do not know if it is correct in english), but from all entire wiring and sealant issue as you think. I'm considering to go to the body shop to remove the bumper and check the wiring. Winter is coming.. Last edited by LikeNo1; 09-29-2022 at 01:33 PM.. |

X3 F25 Outside temperature failure.
I got the same problem with outside temperature failure. Sometimes it shows wrong lower temperature, sensor was replaced twice, checked the conections and wires. Didn't find anything wrong. Problem still show up time by time, showing that outside temperature reduce under 3 grader.

Acting with high-pressure water gun around the PDC or the temperature sensor goes error? Have you check all the plugs on the front wires if are well selaed? Last edited by LikeNo1; 10-18-2022 at 11:59 AM.. |
