The ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the
condenser and detects ambient air temperature. It is a negative type
thermistor; resistance will increase with lower temperature, and
decrease with higher temperature.
The sensor output will be used for discharging temperature
control, temperature regulation door control, blower motor level
control, mix mode control and in-car humidity control.
If the ambient temperature is below 2.0°C (35.6°F), the A/C compressor will stop.
