In-Car Temperature Sensor: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The in-car temperature sensor is used in the automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system only. The in-car temperature sensor returns electrical signals to the body control module (BCM). The in-car temperature sensor is made up of two parts. One part is the in-car sensor aspirator motor assembly, and the second part is a temperature thermistor. The in-car sensor aspirator motor assembly attaches to the back of the A/C-heater control. See Fig 1. This assembly has a small fan and a motor which draws air from the passenger compartment through the intake on the front of the A/C-heater control and past the in-car sensor thermistor which is located inside of the A/C-heater control.
