EQC Outside Temperature Sensor Issue

Has anyone experienced issues with the outside temperature sensor on a 2020 Mercedes EQC electric? My car has an error code, the AC isn't working, the spray nozzles freeze, and the mirror heating is inoperative. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection to the temperature sensor, and I'm estimating a repair cost of 95€.

Yes, I've seen this on an EQC. Often the sensor itself fails, not just the wiring, like a broken thermometer. Have you checked the sensor's output using diagnostic software?

Can you explain the specific diagnostic procedures you used to determine the sensor was the problem, instead of just the cable or plug?

The sensor readings were erratic and inconsistent, even after checking the wiring. Replacing the temperature sensor is usually quicker and more reliable. I suggest taking it to a workshop for proper sensor diagnostics, calibration and replacement.

Understood. Thanks for confirming the sensor could be the problem, not just the wiring. I'll get a technician to do a full sensor check and replace it if needed.
