A/C System Description - In-Car Temperature Sensor
The in-car temperature sensor is attached to the center face of the dashboard and reads in-car temperature.
The sensor uses a chip type thermistor-type temperature sensor that decreases resistance when temperature rises and increases resistance when temperature is drops. The climate control unit reads the resistance fluctuation in response to changes in in-car temperature and control the A/C.
