In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 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
