It monitors the atmospheric (outside) temperature.
The ambient air temperature sensor in a Dodge Durango is typically located behind the front bumper, in the front grille area. It senses the outside air temperature and sends that information to the vehicle's climate control system to help regulate the interior temperature.
P1942 Transmission adaptation, On a Dodge Durango the ambient temperature sensor is used by the DPLV, heated oxygen sensor circuit and a transmission fluid temperature sensor , If the ambient temperature is not rational in regards to the engine temperature sensor the transmission temperature will adapt to a substituted temperature value, this in turn will effect the 2-3 shift points on the transmission,
On a 2000 Durango, the MAF sensor is known as an "ambient air temperature" sensor. Follow your air intake to the manifold. It's sticking out of the right side, under the manifold and looks like this: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsShelf.jsp?displayName=Sensor+-+Ambient+Air+Temperature&currentPage=1&categoryDisplayName=&navValue=16001729&itemId=prod10194&parentId=cat10015 Good Luck.
it is behind the alternator.
underneath the front bumper in the middle.
I think it is near front grill in front of radiator

A 1999 Durango does not have any part called a GPS sensor.
P0073 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input
Near the left headlight, on the side of the radiator.
The 2006 Dodge Durango camshaft position sensor is located on the back end of the head. The position sensor should be labeled as such.
