Monitor the following sensors:
- Inside Air Temperature Sensor
- Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor
- Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor
- Regulate blower motor speed
- Position the air temperature actuator
- Position the mode actuator
