In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor

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 aspirator hose and elbow is connected between the heater core and evaporator core housing and the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
• The aspirator hose and elbow takes air from the heater core and evaporator core 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.
