In-Car Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The in-car temperature sensor:
- is located in the instrument panel to the right of the steering column.
- contains a thermistor which measures the in-car air temperature and sends that reading to the EATC module.
- utilizes a venturi system with an aspirator hose running between the in-car temperature sensor and the plenum chamber.
- Airflow through the plenum chamber creates a suction through the aspirator hose which draws air from the passenger compartment through the in-car temperature sensor.
