AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER]

Purpose, Function

• The ambient temperature sensor converts the detected air temperature to an electric signal.

Construction

• A thermistor-type ambient temperature sensor has been adopted.

  

• The ambient temperature sensor is located on the shroud panel on the back side of the front bumper.

Operation

• The thermistor changes the resistance according to the surrounding temperature.

• The resistance decreases if the temperature increases, and increases if the temperature decreases.

Fail-safe

• Not applicable
