Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
G11293285

The Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor is a NTC thermistor that allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to monitor the temperature of the air around the vehicle. The PCM uses the AAT sensor input for a number of functions, including engine cooling fan control. The PCM also transmits the ambient air temperature on the HS (High Speed) CAN (Controller Area Network) powertrain systems bus for use by other control modules.

The AAT sensor is installed in the left exterior mirror, with the bulb of the sensor positioned over a hole in the bottom of the mirror casing.

The PCM supplies the sensor with a 5 V reference voltage and a ground, and translates the return signal voltage into a temperature.

If there is a fault with the AAT sensor, the PCM calculates the AAT from the temperature inputs of the MAFT sensors. If the AAT sensor and the temperature inputs of the MAFT sensors are all faulty, the PCM adopts a default ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).
