Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation




CABIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The cabin temperature sensor sends signals to the ECM.
This sensor consists of an aspirator and a thermistor, the resistance of which changes in inverse proportion to the temperature. The aspirator uses the vacuum created by the heater unit to direct cabin air to the thermistor. (The cabin temperature sensor, therefore, functions only while the blower fan is in operation.)
