Circuit/System Description

Air Temperature Sensors

The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle uses the following air temperature sensors:

* Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

* Inside Air Temperature Sensor Assembly

* Upper Left Air Temperature Sensor

* Upper Right Air Temperature Sensor

* Lower Left Air Temperature Sensor

* Lower Right Air Temperature Sensor

* Upper Auxiliary Air Temperature Sensor

* Lower Auxiliary Air Temperature Sensor

* Auxiliary Inside Air Temperature Sensor

A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance

decreases. The sensor signal voltage decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between -40 to +101掳C

(-40 to +215掳F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 volts. The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As
