AIr Temperature Sensor Code

Recently, when I started my 2006 S60 2.5, it stalled. Upon restart my CEL light came on and produced a code for malfunctioning air temperature sensor. This is not the sensor that registers outside air temperature for the climate control system or the dashboard display. This is the sensor that governs fuel leaness or richness.
My question is where is this sensor located? Is it part of the MAF or is it a separate part?

I have a 2003 S60 2.4T and got the check engine light for ambient air sensor. At the volvo maintenance shop , the tech said it is located in the exterior drivers mirror. I have research the part and for my VIN , it cost like $19. The dealership estimated it at $250! The tech said that it has a baseline temperature that it defaults to when it is broken. It should not be a problem unless you are in extreme temperatures.

It's a completely different sensor. The ambient air temp sensor gives you the reading in your dash like you mentioned in your first post. The intake air temp sensor monitors the temps of the air right before it goes into the intake manifold.
