The ambient temperature sensor in the 2013 Chevy Malibu is in charge of measuring the outside temperature and sending that information to the car's computer. Situated beneath the front grille near the radiator, the sensor is supposed to be connected to a cable. If there are issues with the external temperature data, it might affect your ability to maintain your preferred cabin temperature. The HVAC system relies on the ambient sensor to decide on the appropriate amount of heating or cooling to circulate inside the car. The sensor can deteriorate or get blocked by dirt or debris, or it could even get damaged. Replacing it usually costs between $120 and $150, covering both the parts and labor.
