Outside temp gauge reset solution?

The outdoor temp gauge is WAY off. Sometimes 15-20 degrees from it truly is outside. Is there a way to reset this without having to go to the dealership?

Anyone else have this problem?

Replace the sensor, It should be the one near one of the front bumper air scoops if I remember correctly.

If I'm looking at the right part, it's $19.20 on Parts.com

Maybe first take a look and see if it is resting in a bad location?? Sometimes they get loose and will sit too close to the engine compartment and pick up the ambient heat from inside.
