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.
The airflow ambient temperature sensor is located on the air intake housing. The sensor should be labeled as the airflow ambient temperature sensor.
I posted pictures on the location and replacement of an ambient temp. sensor for a 2001 S40. Google "ambient temperature sensor location/replacement" or go to Matthew's Volvo site and search there.
measures the ambient air temp (outside air temp) and sends that info to the computer to adjust air/fuel ratio for best burn.
