So after my 2016 500x (1.4 multiair auto) threw a code at me a few days ago (I don't thing she likes the snow/cold). This turned on the engine light, brought up messages saying "Drive Mode unavailable" and "Stop Start disabled". I read and cleared the code stupidly without recording what the code was. She's now running OK and I've done about 50 miles since that occurred. However I have the Ambient Temperature sensor problem which I think was the cause of the problem. It's -3 degrees C outside here today but according to the car it's a toasty 37 degrees C. What caused me to find this is that the icy road warning did not come up.

So I've been doing some research and came across this thread: Link. (Hope it's OK to post a link to a different forum)

I've ordered a replacement sensor from a well known auction site and will have a go at replacing it when it arrives and once the weather improves, hopefully later in the week

I'll update this thread with progress
