Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
G11772054

The Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor that allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to monitor the temperature of the air around the vehicle. The PCM uses the AAT input for a number of functions, including engine cooling fan control. The PCM also transmits the ambient temperature on the High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) chassis 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 adopts a default ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F).
