Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

The ambient air temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor that provides the ATC module with an input of external air temperature. The sensor is hard wired to the ECM and its signal is transmitted to the instrument cluster on the high speed CAN bus. The instrument cluster acts as a gateway and transmits the ambient air temperature signal to the ATC module on the medium speed CAN bus. The sensor is installed in the LH door mirror, and is accessed by removing the mirror glass, cap and actuator.
