Front Evaporator Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) measures the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of the A/C evaporator (2). The evaporator
temperature sensor is an electrical thermistor within a molded plastic case that is inserted into the HVAC housing (3) near the coldest point of the A/C
evaporator. Two terminals within the connector receptacle (4) connect the sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the
HVAC wire harness.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed or installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C
system.
