The maf contains the intake air temp sensor if that is the one you are looking for. You mentioned before that it had taken out your maf in the past and is doing it again which makes me think that you are indeed talking about the IAT sensor.

Yea, I just can't find the sensor on the car, even with the diagram above. Are there any parts I need to take off to get to that sensor.

That picture is from the service manual. According to the manual, that's the 'charge air cooler outlet pipe' and that's the sensor on it. These are the instructions that go with that illustration:

Remove the charge air cooler outlet pipe.

1 Sensor Screw (Qty: 2)

2 Intake Air Pressure and Temperature Sensor

Procedure
Disconnect the electrical connector.
That's all it says on that page.

The air temp sensor for the outside temp (DIC display) is located in the picture
below. If my memory is correct, its below the red plate inside the yellow circle.

db/sb's picture shows the lower Tmap sensor. It can easily be seen by looking down between the radiator and the engine. More towards the passenger side center, about at the radiator bottom.

The lower Tmap sensor is in this picture. No parts removed. Took the picture from the floor. Yours won't have the crinkle black bracket like mine.

There are only two trouble codes that have the word ambient. B0158 & B2345 and neither one will cause an engine issue or check engine light.

Why can't you simply call the shop that scanned the code and get the correct code?
