If the system is functioning, it should display a near value. Sometimes in summer, a higher value may be shown if the car has been sitting in the sun and is hot to the touch. Parking a car in a heated garage in the winter can make for high readings for a while until everything cools down to the outside temp.

My 1999 Olds Intrigue AC wont work because outside air temp is reading incorrectly so how do I fix?
Replace the outside temp sensor. Problem could also be the climate control head. Read other posts about the notorious AC hot/cold problems affecting Intrigues, which has no certain solution. Before spending the money on a new outside temp sensor, if your temp is just reading low, try cleaning your battery terminals where they contact. Remember to remove the Negative first, and reattach it last. The sensor is really sensitive to voltage changes.
