Air Discharge Temperature Sensors (if equipped)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are 2 air discharge temperature sensors in the EATC 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 HVAC control module. The sensors vary their resistance with the temperature. As the temperature rises, the resistance falls. As the temperature falls, the resistance rises. The HVAC control module uses the sensor information to maintain the desired temperature of the passenger cabin air.
