Ambient Air Temperature Sensor for Mercedes-Benz

SKP SKAX181 is an ambient air temperature sensor for select Mercedes-Benz and Smart applications. It provides the outside temperature input used by the vehicle’s HVAC and display systems, helping maintain accurate climate control and temperature readouts.

Key Features

  • Ambient air temperature sensor for HVAC-related temperature monitoring
  • Direct replacement style for select Mercedes-Benz and Smart vehicles
  • Cross-references Standard Ignition AX181
  • Also cross-references OE part numbers 000 542 84 18 and 0005428418
  • Part number: SKAX181

Detailed Description

SKP SKAX181 is built for vehicles that rely on an exterior temperature signal for climate display and HVAC operation. This ambient air temperature sensor is listed for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models, including C300, E350, GL550, G550, SL550, and Sprinter 2500, as well as Smart Fortwo applications. If you are searching for an ambient air temperature sensor for Mercedes-Benz C300, Mercedes-Benz E350, or Mercedes-Benz G550, SKAX181 matches the confirmed fitment data for those vehicles.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition AX181 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Incorrect outside temperature display
  • HVAC system temperature input errors
  • Temperature readings that fluctuate or read inconsistently
  • Loss of ambient temperature information on the dash or climate display
  • Replacement needs for a failed Mercedes-Benz ambient air temperature sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the part number and vehicle fitment before installation. Confirm the connector style and mounting location against the original sensor on the vehicle. After installation, check the outside temperature reading and HVAC display for proper operation.
