AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER]
id0740a1321200
Purpose
• The ambient temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature.
Function
• The ambient temperature sensor converts the detected temperature to an electric signal.
Construction
• A thermistor-type ambient temperature sensor has been adopted.
• The ambient temperature sensor is installed to 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 conversely increases if the temperature decreases as shown in the figure.
Fail-safe
• Function not equipped.
