Not wanting to state the obvious here, but it's a sensor that detects the ambient (outside) temperature. This then links through to a light on the dash and is used to warn you of a possible risk of ice. HTH
measures the ambient air temp (outside air temp) and sends that info to the computer to adjust air/fuel ratio for best burn.
The airflow ambient temperature sensor is located on the air intake housing. The sensor should be labeled as the airflow ambient temperature sensor.
Ambient air temp sensor
The ambient air temp sensor on a 2004 Dodge Neon is located at the front of the car, year the headlights. It receives fresh air rather than heated air from the engine for the most accurate readings.
P0071=Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Range/Performance. There is a temp sensor in the fresh air intake that monitors the ambient air temp coming into the engine. Check to see if it is disconnected. On this van, the ambient temperature sensor is located in front of the bottom of the ac condenser.
There are two, the ambient air temp sensor on the cold air intake just before the filter. And the Intake temp sensor on the intake itself (throttle body after the MAF.)

Usually ambient sensors are located in front of the radiator.
