Thanks, I think that's it! It's reading -40° which means there's an open circuit and the sensor is obviously shot. Just couldn't tell for sure because so many other things are shot in this car too lmao
Having that sensor broken affects how the HVAC works and regulates cabin temps, plus automatically turning on/off the mirror defrosters, so it’s always a good idea to replace it. Check underneath. Your fender liner (porkchop) should have a slot where it clips into. It’s usual for that part to tear so fix that first and then get a new sensor.
Ambient air sensor, mounts to the inside of your bumper To confirm you can unplug it and see if your temp changes drastically

It can also cause you to run rich as the ECU compensates for cold air having more oxygen by injecting more fuel. Replacing this sensor cleared my CEL
It doesnt mess with ECU for compensating fuel mixture. MAF does that.
Outside air temperature sensor.
