Outside temperature blinking in Kia Sportage, how to fix it

Is your vehicle displaying three blinking dashes instead of the outside temperature reading? In this video, I’ll show you the most common cause of this problem and how to fix it by replacing the ambient temperature sensor on a 4th-generation Kia Sportage. A faulty ambient temperature sensor, damaged wiring, or a corroded connector can prevent the vehicle from reading the outside air temperature, causing the instrument cluster to display blinking dashes instead of the actual temperature. Since the sensor is mounted behind the front bumper and exposed to water, dirt, road salt, and debris, it can eventually fail over time. Follow along as I show the complete step-by-step procedure, including front bumper removal, locating the ambient temperature sensor, replacing it, and verifying that the outside temperature display works properly again. In this video you'll learn: • What causes the outside temperature display to show blinking dashes. • Ambient temperature sensor location on a 2022 Kia Sportage. • How to safely remove the front bumper. • How to replace the ambient temperature sensor. • How to restore the outside temperature reading on the dashboard. #KiaSportage #AmbientTemperatureSensor #OutsideTemperature #Kia
