Where is the ambient temp sensor on a Chevy Silverado?
The ambient temperature sensor clips into the panel below the lights on the passenger side of the grille for the 2004 Silverado. I attached a photo, which I hope will display correctly, to assist you.
What’s the outside temp on my Silverado Sierra?
I performed an instant update on the ambient air temperature sensor, as described in the last paragraph of this post. The temperature on the DIC went from 47F to 66F. The actual outside temperature was 56F. I then drove the truck for a couple of miles and the temperature went down from 66F to 56F.
How often does the outside temp sensor change?
If the vehicle has been off long enough (cold or cool condition) and/or the ambient outside temperature has decreased, a new exterior temperature should be displayed. The outside air temperature will continue to be updated every second as long as the outside air temperature is the same or cooler than the previous reading.
What happens to the temp sensor while driving?
This is designed to eliminate the possibility of erratic readings under certain driving conditions. The temperature display is always allowed to update quickly when the ambient temperature is getting colder while driving, but the display takes much longer to update when the temperature is getting warmer.

How do I reset the outside temp on my Chevy Silverado?
if you press and hold the AC and recirculate buttons it should reset the temp. The outside air temperature is displayed on the Driver Information Center (Fig. 8), radio or rear view mirror in a number of GM vehicles. There may be some confusion about the operation of the display and how quickly it updates ambient temperature.
