    I started having a problem with the air temp read out a few weeks ago. It
    read the correct temperature as long as I didn't drive over 30 miles an
    hour. Any faster and it acted like it was picking up wind chill. When I
    turned off the engine the temperature would reset and read correctly until I
    exceeded 30 miles an hour again. After driving 4 hours at highway speed and
    getting outside air temp readings of -40 F. when the actual temperature was
    +50F, the sensor now reads "LO" all the time. Any ideas about how to fix
    this or what it would cost to have a mechanic/dealer fix it?
    Thanks.
