In-Car Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Marauder, 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The in-vehicle temperature sensor operates in the following manner:
- A thermistor in the in-vehicle temperature sensor measures air temperature inside the passenger compartment.
- An automatic temperature control sensor hose and elbow is connected between the A/C evaporator housing and the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
- The automatic temperature control sensor hose and elbow takes air from the A/C evaporator housing air stream to create a suction in the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
- The suction draws in-vehicle air into the in-vehicle temperature sensor and across the thermistor.
