Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
The automatic temperature control sensor:
^
is located behind the center of the instrument panel.
^
contains a thermistor which measures the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment.
An automatic temperature control sensor hose and elbow is connected between the A/C evaporator housing and the automatic temperature control sensor.
Its function is to use air from the A/C evaporator core air stream to the automatic temperature control sensor to create a suction within the sensor. The
suction will draw in-vehicle air into the sensor and across the thermistor.
