Ambient Temperature Sensor

The ambient temperature sensor supplies the value for the temperature outside the vehicle to the instrument cluster. The ambient temperature is shown on the LCD display. Instrument resolution is 0.5°C (1°F). The value for ambient temperature is also made available to other control units via the K-CAN.

NOTE: If the ambient temperature sensor circuit fails, the display will show +50 degrees Celsius if the circuit is shorted and -50 degrees Celsius if the circuit is open.
