Google says it's your ambient air temp sensor malfunctioning. This isn't going to affect anything other than climate controls.

Is there a way to fix this ? Like what do I have to do

Well, to state the obvious, replace the sensor.

Since this doesn't really impact anything of consequence you could also clear the code and see if it comes back in case its a transient thing.

Yep, just disconnect the car battery for a few minutes, connect it back up ...... and see if you are lucky ....... ;)

Sometimes when you clear a code with a OBD tool, it will come back, but by unhooking the battery, it will stay away ...... :iono:

Disconnecting the battery will reset the sensor (basically rebooting it) if it retains key off power. Just resetting the code wouldn't do that.

Not sure an ambient temp sensor would have constant power, but certainly couldn't hurt.

If it the sensor is bad the dash display of outside temperature should not work.
