Code P0073 is Ambient temp sensor circuit high.

No, it means that your ambient temp sensor is smoking weed.

Seriously though, I've never heard it called the "ambient air temperature sensor". I'm assuming this is the same thing as the IAT sensor (intake air temperature sensor). If so, newmoparparts.com shows that as a $7 part.

I just did some quick searching and there is a different OBD II code for intake air temperature sensor high(P0113). So the intake air temperature sensor may not be the same as the ambient air temperature sensor.
