did some searching,and found that is could be the ambient outside temperature sensor
The Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) through ambient temperature messages received from the Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambient temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a screw to the right side of the headlamp mounting module grille opening, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine compartment. The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.OPERATIONThe ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM. Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the proper ambient temperature messages to the EVIC over the PCI data bus.The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a portion of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module. If any portion of the ambient temperature sensor circuit fails, the BCM will self-diagnose the circuit. A temperature reading of 130° F will appear in the EVIC display in place of the temperature when the sensor circuit is shorted. A temperature reading of -40° F will appear in the EVIC display in place of the temperature when the sensor circuit is open.
Under hood, center, upper engine area, mounted in driver side of water outlet
It does not have a mass airflow sensor.
The engine computer uses the engine coolant temperature sensor to decide when to run the electric radiator fan. It is located very near where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine.
The airflow ambient temperature sensor is located on the air intake housing. The sensor should be labeled as the airflow ambient temperature sensor.
The ambient air temperature sensor, on your Nissan automobile, is located in the drivers side mirror. The sensor is on the bottom of the mirror.
The ambient temperature sensor is located behind the front grill.
It depends on which of them. The one for coolant is located in the water inlet. Ambient temperature sensor is located in the filter box.
Normally on the front bumper or in the front grill somewhere.

Normally on the front bumper or in the front grill somewhere.
The 2003 GMC ambient air temperature sensor is located on the bottom of the drivers side mirror. If you look up at the bottom of the mirror you will see the sensor.
The ambient air temperature sensor, on a Caterpillar see 13 diesel engine, is located between the air filter and the air intake on the engine. The sensor should be near the air filter.
You can find it in the air filter box.
The 1997 Ford Explorer ambient temperature sensor can be found on the bottom of the drivers side mirror. The engine coolant temperature sensor can be found on the front of the engine.
were is the location of the ambient air temperature sensor for a 2001 bmw 330 i
