i30 Outside Temperature Sensor Fault

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2014 Hyundai i30 diesel. It's showing an outside temperature sensor fault. The display is messed up, the air conditioning won't kick on, and even the spray nozzles are frozen when it's cold! Plus, my mirror heating isn't working. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I'm a bit lost here.

Hey! I had a similar issue with my i30. The symptoms sound almost identical – AC not working, weird temp readings, the whole shebang. Did you happen to check the sensor itself or any of the wiring? That's where my problem ended up being.

Thanks for the reply! Where exactly is the sensor located, and what wiring should I be looking at in particular? I'm not super technical, so any pointers would be great. Is it an easy job to test the wiring?

Honestly, tracing the wiring can be a pain if you're not familiar with it. For me, it turned out to be a defective plug connection. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop. It cost me around 95€, but saved myself a lot of headache. They will most likely find the broken cable or plug connection quickly.

Thanks a lot! That's super helpful. I think I'll take your advice and get it checked out at a workshop. 95€ sounds reasonable to avoid messing something up even worse. Really appreciate the help!
