Well, in grammar, when a pronoun is ambiguous, that means that the pronoun could be referring to more than one thing. For example, look at this sentence:
He opened the cans, pealed off the labels, and threw them away.
In this sentence, 'them' is our pronoun. 'Them' could be talking about the cans or the labels; we just don't know. When a pronoun has two possible antecedents (a noun the pronoun is referring to) then the pronoun is said to have an ambiguous meaning. Hope this helps!
