Circuit/System Description

The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The vehicle uses the following air temperature sensors:

This sensor operates using signal and low reference circuits. As the air temperature surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor is capable of reading temperatures ranging from -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F), with a signal voltage between 0-5 V. If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor the software uses a default air temperature value. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.
