Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Testing and Inspection

The in-car sensor is located behind the center facia panel. The sensor contains a thermistor which measures the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment.




It perceives the passenger compartment temperature, changes the resistance value, and enters the corresponding voltage into the automatic temperature control module.
