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.
