ambient temperature displayed on the MFD, not engine coolant temperature on the dials.
check the sensor- it is located underneath the front numberplate, clipped behind one of the bumper ribs.
i would look for corroded or damaged wiring etc.

thats a coolant temp sensor located on the inlet manifold

Thats the one located behind the front bumper bar and measures external air temp
