Functional description

A temperature-dependent electrical resistor is used for temperature sensing. The circuit contains a voltage divider where the resistance can be measured depending on the temperature. A temperature is converted using a characteristic curve specific to the sensor.

An NTC resistor is installed in the engine compartment temperature sensor and in the engine compartment temperature sensor 2 whose resistance value drops when the temperature increases. The resistance changes from 76 kΩ to 88 Ω temperature-dependent, which corresponds to a temperature of -40 °C to 120 ° C.

The following illustration shows the engine compartment temperature sensor and in the engine compartment temperature sensor 2 using I01 as an example.
