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.

am3zzn00008106

• 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.

am3zzn00008108

• 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.

Passenger Compartment Temperature Sensor

Purpose/function

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

Structure/construction

• A thermistor-type passenger compartment temperature sensor has been adopted.

• The passenger compartment temperature sensor is located on the lower panel (driver’s side).

Operation

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

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