Cruze Outside Temperature Sensor Fault
Summary of the thread
A 2016 Chevrolet Cruze diesel is experiencing issues with the outside temperature sensor, leading to the AC not functioning, spray nozzles freezing, and mirror heating being non-functional. The problem is suspected to be due to a bad cable or plug connection. A similar issue was resolved by checking and repairing the wiring and sensor connection, suggesting that a workshop inspection could effectively address the problem.

Yes, the temperature gauge is indeed displaying incorrect values. Could you elaborate on the specific issues you encountered and how they relate to the temperature sensor?

Ah, that confirms it then. My mechanic traced the problem back to a faulty connection to the temperature sensor. Given your assessment of a defective cable or plug connection, I would strongly suggest having a workshop check the wiring and the sensor itself. It could save you a lot of diagnostic time and potential headaches down the line.

I appreciate the confirmation and advice. I will arrange for a workshop visit to inspect the wiring and sensor. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Interesting. I had a similar problem with my Chevy Cruze. My AC was acting up and the temperature reading was all over the place. Not sure about the frozen nozzles or mirror heating. Is your temperature gauge also displaying incorrect values?
