TEMPERATURE SENSOR [MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER]

id0740a2005900

Ambient Temperature Sensor

Purpose/Function

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

Structure/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.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor

Purpose/Function

•  The evaporator temperature sensor converts the airflow temperature passing through the detected evaporator to an electrical signal.

Structure/Construction

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

•  A fin-thermo-type sensor has been adopted to the sensor area of the evaporator temperature sensor which inserts between the evaporator fins.

•  The evaporator temperature sensor is located on the A/C unit.

Operation

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

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