Ambient Sensor
COMPONENT FUNCTION WITHIN SYSTEM
- The ambient sensor detects the temperature of the ambient air, and transmits the ambient sensor signal to the combination meter.
- This signal is transmitted from the combination meter to the A/C amp. via CAN communication and is used in air conditioning system.
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT FUNCTION
The ambient sensor measures the ambient air temperature.
COMPONENT OPERATION
The ambient sensor measures the ambient air temperature, and transmits the ambient sensor signal to the combination meter. This sensor uses a thermistor with electrical resistance that decreases as the temperature increases.
COMPONENT PARTS LOCATION
The ambient sensor is installed to the active grille shutter.
