How to Service the Ambient Temperature Sensor on Ford F-350 Super Duty?

The service procedure for the ambient air temperature sensor requires removing 8 pin-type retainers from the upper radiator sight shield before moving on. Two upper pin-type retainers must be removed before setting aside the air deflector. You should detach the pin-type retainer of the ambient temperature sensor followed by disconnecting its electrical connector before removing the sensor from the vehicle. Installation of the new sensor demands a reverse order of the removal steps.

Ford Ambient Temperature Sensor

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Ambient Temperature Sensor is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Ambient Temperature Sensor at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

Ford Ambient Temperature Sensor feeds accurate outside air data, which allows the vehicle to adjust and remain comfortable. The moving assembly line that Ford invented in 1913 reduced build times and costs by half and has anchored the company in breakthroughs. The company has now gone out of its way to market EcoBoost engines that strike hard on power but drink responsibly, and efficiency and muscle do not have to be at odds with each other. With SYNC voice commands, drivers can spin their playlists or get maps without taking their eyes off the road. Co-Pilot360 will combine automatic braking, lane keeping alerts, and blind-spot warnings to prove that mistakes can be caught before they get ugly as the all-electric F-150 Lightning demonstrates that zero-emission muscle can still tow, haul, blast off the line, and leave enthusiasts who crave torque that comes instantly. The Ambient Temperature Sensor is mounted close to the front grille on any Ford and is exposed to the actual outgoing air to provide an honest reading. After the Ambient Temperature Sensor transmits the information, the climate module of a Ford adjusts the vent mix and blower speed dynamically. To adjust engine precision control, the engine control unit of a Ford also reads the Ambient Temperature Sensor to control the fine-tuning of fuel delivery and ignition timing in response to weather variations. The Ambient Temperature Sensor is rugged and well-calibrated, and despite the scorching desert and chilly mornings, it will continue to do its job, and it is inexpensive to replace should it fail.
