Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

In-Car Temperature Sensor

In Car Temperature Sensor (7):




Electronic Switching Units (9) - Temp & (19) - Blower:




- The in-car temperature sensor (7) is located under a grille at top of instrument panel. The sensor feels the in-car temperature and transmits its resistance to the electronic switching unit (9) to balance the temperature as set.

Air Jet (50):




- An air jet (50) attached to heater box will draw air from interior of vehicle by way of the in-car temperature sensor, while the blower is running. As a result, the response period of this sensor is shortened and the control accuracy is increased.
