    Can anyone help me locate the "Ambient Air Temperature" Sensor on an '06 430 please? The one that is part of the fuel control system.
    Thanks,

    Thanks guys.........much appreciated.

    Please confirm: is this sensor input used as part of the OBD II system ......drives failue codes?

    I have a feeling that the sensor on the wing mirror has more to do with Air Con than fuel / combustion.

    I suspect there's probably another one in the inlet system somewhere.

    Anyone?

    Lessons Learned Feedback; YES the ambitent Air Temp Sensor under the Driver Side Mirror is for BOTH the A/C System and the OBD II.

    What I found was an intermittent fuse for the a/c control (10A behind drivers seat) and when the a/c is out, it also triggers the Check Engine light.

    Fix fuse.....fix both.
