I Found It!!   On a 2016 MKX FWD 3.7L V-6 the outside ambient air temperature sensor is located about 17" BELOW the Lincoln star on the grille. If one looks through the bottom grille, it will be front and center.        I'm quite sure I can get to it by removing the bottom front splash shield.    More to come!!     . 

Hello Cosmos36,        Thanks for the input.  I have heard the noises you describe and it is markedly different than that.  I have also been unable to generate the noise using the a/c system since I read your post so even though it is a good thought, I think it is not it.   Regards, Gary A

Well, here I am again.    My last attempt to procure information from this site had me reading old men arguing about the over engineering of glove boxes on European cars. NOW, I am here trying to find out the EXACT location of the outside ambient air temperature sensor and I'm reading about how fast one must drive to reset the temp sensor. I guess I missed the whole part about where it's located on the 2016 MKX.??    Anywho, I have a check engine light on and a temperature reading on the dash display that is not even close to what the outside temperature is. I have the code pulled and it's a P0073. The cost of the sensor is minimal however I'm just not sure where it's located?? Some say the front fascia must come off, others say it doesn't. Some say you can access the sensor by pulling the top cover where the radiator is but that is only for those who have a sensor on the top passenger side behind the grille. Some say the sensor is on the driver's side toward the bottom of the condenser?? 😵   Ahh, the inconsistency of internet data!!    .   

It was likely either (1) a glitch or (2) a forewarning of a pending failure of the monitor, common after 5-6 years of age. I've had a similar occurrence on my 2016 MKX over recent months.

The other day the tire pressure monitor fault came up on screen on my 2016 Lincoln MKX tire pressure icon showed up as well I checked all pressures and they were good ran an OBD scan and no fault code came up could this just be a glitch or is something else going on.  Thanks
