Adam Outside Temperature Sensor Issue

I own a 2018 Vauxhall Adam with a gasoline engine. I am encountering an issue with the outside temperature sensor. Symptoms include an error stored in the error memory, the air conditioning system failing to activate, frozen spray nozzles during cold temperatures, and non-functional mirror heating. Could a defective cable or plug connection be the only cause?

I had a similar issue with my Adam. Were any sensor calibration or diagnostic checks performed prior to considering a cable or plug issue? Did you experience these symptoms concurrently, or did they appear gradually?

Sensor diagnostics were performed and returned an error. The symptoms appeared simultaneously. The error code indicates a faulty temperature sensor. Should I consider replacing the sensor instead of the plug?

Given the error code points directly to the sensor and the symptoms appeared at once, it would be prudent to consult a workshop for a professional opinion. It’s likely the sensor itself, but verifying the wiring integrity before replacement would save unnecessary expense. The repair will be around 95€. Is it worth it to you?

Thank you for the advice. I followed your recommendation and took the Adam to a workshop. They confirmed the sensor was defective and replaced it. All systems are now functioning correctly.
