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

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.

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

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.
