Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the compass/temperature display unit. The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) receives a hard wired
input from the ambient temperature sensor. The info is then transferred over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to be displayed and filtered by
the instrument cluster or Cab Compartment Node (CCN). The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with
a nut to the bracket in front of the A/C condenser, behind the radiator grille.
The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, must be replaced.
