What works fine:
-If it's quite cold outside
-If it's quite hot outside
-It seems to work better after having driven for 15-30 minutes

The problem:
When starting the car on a 15C/59F day, driving off in the sun, the cabin is quite warm, but the A/C blows hot air. I have the A/C control at 22C/72F all the time. It soon gets annoyingly hot. If I turn down controls to 18C/64F, much colder than I ever had before, I get nice temperature in the cabin

Does anyone else have this issue? I believe the ambient air sensor as displayed is correct. But maybe the in-cabin air sensor?

"CABIN HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The cabin humidity and temperature sensor is installed behind a grill on the drivers side of the
instrument panel. The temperature inside the cabin is measured by a NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) thermistor. A motor within the sensor assembly draws cabin air in through the grill and
over the thermistor. The motor is provided a battery voltage feed by a relay located within the CJB
(central junction box) ."

?

 

Clean our the sensor! These things get nasty with fuzz and grime. Bucks-to-'Nuts it'll work fine after a delicate clean job.

 

Thanks, I'll try. "Bucks-to-'Nuts" meaning?

 

"Dollars to Donuts".
