Fixing the Ambient Temperature Sensor in a Ford EcoSport involves several steps that you can follow. This process might vary slightly depending on the model year of your EcoSport. Before you start, ensure you have the right tools and a replacement sensor if necessary. Here's a general guide to help you:

Tools You May Need:
Screwdrivers
Socket set
Replacement ambient temperature sensor (if the current one is faulty)
Steps to Fix the Ambient Temperature Sensor:
Locate the Sensor:

The ambient temperature sensor is usually located in front of the radiator or behind the front grille. In some models, it might be positioned near the bottom of the front bumper.
Inspect for Visible Damage:

Before removing anything, inspect the sensor and the surrounding area for any visible damage. Look for broken wires or signs of corrosion.
Disconnect the Battery:

To avoid any electrical issues, disconnect the battery before you start working on the sensor.
Remove the Sensor:

Carefully remove any components or panels that are blocking access to the sensor.
Disconnect the electrical connector by pressing down on the tab and pulling it out.
Remove any screws or fasteners holding the sensor in place, then carefully pull the sensor out.
Install the New Sensor:

If the old sensor is damaged and needs replacement, take your new ambient temperature sensor and position it in the location of the old one.
Reattach any screws or fasteners to secure the new sensor.
Reconnect the electrical connector to the sensor.
Reconnect the Battery and Test:

Once the new sensor is in place and everything is reassembled, reconnect the battery.
Start your EcoSport and check the temperature reading on the dashboard to ensure the new sensor is working correctly.
Check for Error Codes:

If your EcoSport was displaying any error codes related to the ambient temperature sensor, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes. If you don't have a scanner, driving the vehicle for a short period might automatically clear the codes.
Additional Tips:
Refer to the Owner's Manual: For specific details about the sensor's location and any precautions, refer to your EcoSport's owner's manual.
Be Gentle with Connectors: Electrical connectors can become brittle over time, so handle them gently to avoid breakage.
Ensure Correct Placement: Make sure the sensor is not obstructed and is placed where it can accurately measure outside air temperature.
If you're not comfortable performing this fix yourself, consider taking your Ford EcoSport to a professional mechanic or a Ford dealership for repair.
