P0073 - Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High
This could be a sensor problem or a wiring problem (open circuit)
Doesn't have anything to do with an Oxygen sensor.

U1900 is a Canbus problem which sometimes shows up when there are alternator problems. So, check if the alternator and battery are fine.

Can't trust free info from the internet can you?

I've seen recently on Ford when there is a sensor issue that it gives a u code due to invalid data from PCM to other modules (ABS/ESP) unplug a MAF on a modern Ford diesel TCDI and you get such a code for example.

It's not a problem of trusting info from the internet or anywhere else for that matter.
It's a problem with reading/typing correctly.
I see code seventy three in there, but can't find thirty seven.

Thanks for spelling it out for me too.
