Default Outside Temp Seems Incorrect
It appears the the outside thermometer that’s displays in the a/c control is at least 10° too high.

Can this be recalibrated?

Unplug the sensor and clean the contacts. They tend to pickup road grime and crud and give erratic readings. (The unit is under the passenger side front facia)
