-45 Degrees

Since last week every now and then my car will beep or bong if you prefer and let me know that it's -45 degrees outside. Only problem there is it's the middle of spring and I live in South Florida! Car has just under 800 miles on the odometer, and now the A/C stops working for long periods of time. I was planning on taking it in over the weekend, but might just move it up on my schedule since now the CEL has also rared its ugly head.

Has anyone ever seen this, or have an idea what could be causing these issues? I'm leaning towards a bad external temperature sensor.

Gotta be a bad sensor somewhere. Take it to the dealer, especially since you got a Cell. They'll be able to diagnose it.

Not a bad sensor after all, just a sensor not fully connected.

What I am wondering is if its -45 degrees outside why would you try to turn on the A/C?
