Ambient Sensor 1
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
After disconnecting ambient sensor 1 (1) connector E1, measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 at sensor component side, using the table below.
- <==: Front
NOTE:
Both of the ambient sensors are located behind the front grille, below the hood latch. The upper ambient sensor 1 (1) provides input for the automatic A/C system. The lower ambient sensor 2 (2) provides input for the compass/temperature driver information system.
