Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor (B10/6) measures the evaporator temperature.
The evaporator temperature sensor is located in the air flow behind the evaporator. It relays the resistance coinciding with the temperature at the
evaporator to the pushbutton control module.
At an evaporator temperature of 1 to 3.5 °C the A/C compressor is switched off. This prevents the evaporator from icing up. This ensures that the outlet
temperature at the nozzles deviates only slightly.
