Description And Operation: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Installed on the front-end module, the Ambient Temperature Sensor (ATS) senses the ambient temperature.

This sensor is exposed to the ambient air temperature in front of the radiator.

The ATS is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC)-type sensor and its resistance is in inverse proportion to the temperature.
