I own a shop, and I can tell you they hide these pretty well. You can rule out it being under the hood because of the heat that's under there. It would make sense for it to be in the grill, outside part of the fenders, or where it can get nothing but outside air. There is an air intake sensor in the hose that goes to the snorkel to tell the computer what the temperature of the air entering the engine is, but I don't think this is what you are talking about. Your best bet for finding this sensor would be; call a dealer, talk to the service department manager, and he can tell you, or find out. This way you won't be guessing. If the sensor is getting a very low temperature reading; suspect it is in the wind and reading the wind chill. Is there a cover that is missing off it? This would explain the low reading.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
