Default My temperature reads wrong on screen

I guess it is the outside temp, it shows on the center console screen with the AC settings.
What part fixes this? Thanks

There is a sensor but the lower front grille as I recall. I think it is fairly easy to get to and replace and not very expensive. Been a while since I have seen a post on here about that, but if you do a search on here I'm sure you can find it.

open the hood and look down in front of the radiator on the right hand side you will see a black plastic tube with wires about 2 inches long this is the outside temp sensor.
If I was home I would send you a picture hopefully someone will oblige

The temp can be displayed as CENTIGRADE or FAHRENHEIT.
Are you sure it is incorrect or displayed as the one you are not familiar with????

Just as a clock can display 24 HR or 12 HR, the temp can be changed to either display.
