I looked at that screen 5 yrs ago. I just looked at it again. Shows the temp. What does your dash display show when it's set for outside temp mode? There is a blank screen, just before the setting of outside temp.

Strange. Looks like it's dealer time. Maybe the temp sensor has gone bad.

Looks like your outside temperature sensor is having a problem. As I recall, the sensor is in the vicinity of the front bumper (down low). Have you had recent collision or mechanical repair work in that vicinity of your car?

I'd imagine that access without removal of the front bumper would be difficult.

Just checked my car, and the sensor is clearly visible through the lower (honeycomb) grill opening.
