Default Outside Air Temp Sensor

Having yet another issue with this bloody XC60. Been getting a check engine light on upon startup. When I plug in my scanner it is P0073 which is for outside Air Temp which makes sense as it shows -40 at start up. After 20 mon of driving it registers correct. Why would this trigger the check engine light to start with?? In addition to this the heater goes on full heat mode. I can't understand how the outside temp sensor would have this effect on temp control in the cabin either....
I replaced the sensor and it is still the same. Any suggestions???
Ive had this car for 3 months, put 20,000kms on it and have had more problems than my previous 800k in 4 vehicles COMBINED.
