The 2016 Chevy Malibu uses an ambient temperature sensor to monitor the outside temperature and send this information to the car's system. This sensor can be found near the front grille close to the radiator and should be connected to a cable. If there are any issues with the sensor, it may affect your ability to control the cabin temperature as you like.
