Checking Blocked Passenger Compartment Temperature Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT: If the passenger compartment temperature sensor receives no air or receives air from the wrong direction the control module may provide incorrect control of the temperature. 

Check that passenger compartment temperature sensor air intake is not blocked so that the air in the passenger compartment cannot be sucked in.

Check that the center air vents on the dashboard are not covered, otherwise the air will blow directly back into the passenger compartment temperature sensor air intake.

Remedy as necessary.
