B2578, B2579 IN-VEHICLE SENSOR

Description

In-vehicle Sensor





- The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on instrument lower cover (LH).
- It converts variations in compartment air temperature drawn from the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the A/C
auto amp.





In-vehicle Sensor Circuit
Aspirator





The aspirator (1) is located on driver side of heater & cooling unit assembly. It produces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater & cooling unit assembly, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.
