- Description:
This genuine Motorcraft ambient air temperature sensor, catalog number DY-1160, measures the temperature of the outside air and reports it to the vehicle's control modules as a variable resistance signal. That reading drives the outside-temperature display, supports automatic climate-control calculations, and feeds other systems that adjust operation based on ambient conditions. It is a broad, cross-platform Ford service part used across a wide range of 2011-2025 Ford vehicles. When this sensor fails or its wiring corrodes, drivers commonly see an inaccurate or missing outside-temperature reading on the cluster or radio display, erratic automatic climate-control behavior, and the information display flagging ambient-temperature circuit codes such as P0071, P0072, or P0073. The sensor is usually mounted at the front of the vehicle behind the grille or bumper where it is exposed to road debris and moisture, so its element and connector degrade over time, and fitting a correct Motorcraft unit restores an accurate ambient reading. This is the original-equipment Motorcraft component listed by Ford as the ambient air temperature sensor DY-1160, and it uses the factory connector and mounting clip for a direct fit. Inspect the mounting location and connector for corrosion before installing, route the harness clear of moving parts, and clear any stored codes after replacement. Because fitment spans many model years, verify the mounting style and connector against your specific vehicle before ordering.
