Default outside air temp

My outside air temp is not showing up on my 2017 Chevy Equinox. How do I get it back on?

Pretty sure the termister would be located near the very front of the vehicle. Once mine ever goes I wont give it a second thought, frankly.

what is it displaying? Is there a code set? It may not be a powertrain code but rather a body code so a cheap code reader will not access it. check all modules.

It is showing Day, Date and Time on the Chevy My Link screen. Is there a fuse just for the outside air temp. I had a small fender bender on the right side that is why the replaced the broken temp sensor. Could it be the wrong ambient temp sensor? Thanks for your reply.

no for a fuse...the sensor is fed power from a module. So its missing from the screen since an accident? if yes, go into set up and see if you can change the set up

Thank you, I tried to do a new set up but did not work . Still no temp reading on screen. I also can not seem to find out how to change the temp reading on the auto ac from cel. to far.

The outside Temp is finally fixed, also the temp settings. Chevrolet had to do a Harness repair after they had to R & R bumper and R & R battery fuse block under the hood to gain access and repair the Harness. It was covered by the Warranty. Thank you.
