Open circuit. The overhead console has lost its connection to the ambient temperature sensor.
The ambient temperature sensor on a 2004 Jeep Liberty is typically located in the front grille area, often mounted near the driver's side. It is usually positioned behind the grille, near the headlight assembly, allowing it to measure the outside air temperature accurately. If you have trouble locating it, consulting the vehicle's service manual can provide specific details and diagrams.
did some searching,and found that is could be the ambient outside temperature sensor
The Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) through ambient temperature messages received from the Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambient temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a screw to the right side of the headlamp mounting module grille opening, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine compartment. The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.OPERATIONThe ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM. Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the proper ambient temperature messages to the EVIC over the PCI data bus.The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a portion of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module. If any portion of the ambient temperature sensor circuit fails, the BCM will self-diagnose the circuit. A temperature reading of 130° F will appear in the EVIC display in place of the temperature when the sensor circuit is shorted. A temperature reading of -40° F will appear in the EVIC display in place of the temperature when the sensor circuit is open.
In the 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, the outside temperature sensor for the compass and temperature rearview mirror is typically located on the front of the vehicle, behind the grille, or mounted to the front bumper. It is often positioned to receive accurate readings of the ambient air temperature. If you are having difficulty locating it, checking the vehicle's service manual can provide specific details for your model.
Underneath the battery.
It is under the rear of the alternator.
The air inlet temperature sensor on a 2004 Jeep Liberty is located on the intake tube. The intake tube is right in front of the throttle body.
The Jeep Wrangler 2.5 liter engine intake air temperature sensor is located just above the exhaust manifold. The sensor will have to wires coming out of the top of it.
No.
The gauge temperature sensor is on the driver side rear of the cylinder head.
Under the battery, on the battery tray.
