Air Discharge Temperature Sensors
There are 2 air discharge temperature sensors in the Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) system:
- Center register air discharge temperature sensor
- Footwell air discharge temperature sensor
The air discharge temperature sensors contain a thermistor and are inputs to the FCIM. The sensors vary their resistance with the temperature. As the temperature rises, the resistance falls. As the temperature falls, the resistance rises. The FCIM uses the sensor information to maintain the desired temperature of the passenger cabin air.
