Description And Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) module receives the information about outside temperature to carry out the correct air mixing strategies from the Body Control Module (BCM) via Controller Area Network (CAN). The ambient temperature sensor is positioned in the right door mirror and it is managed by the BCM, which also receives the sensor's temperature information. The BCM sends the ambient temperature value via CAN for the modules that require this information.
