The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor installed at the front of a condenser measures the exterior temperature and contains a thermistor with negative characteristic in which its resistance has an inverse relation to temperature. It transmits the variable resistance value to the A/C module according to the ambient air temperature. Then the A/C module controls the temperature control actuator, blower motor, mode control operation, and interior humidity.
