Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Ambient Temperature Sensor [Full Auto Air Conditioner]

Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / HVAC / A/C / Ambient Temperature Sensor [Full Auto Air Conditioner]

Purpose

The ambient temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature.

Function

The ambient temperature sensor converts the detected temperature to an electric signal.

Construction

A thermistor-type ambient temperature sensor has been adopted.
The ambient temperature sensor is installed to the shroud panel on the back side of the front bumper.

Operation

The thermistor changes the resistance according to the surrounding temperature.
The resistance decreases if the temperature increases, and conversely increases if the temperature decreases as shown in the figure.

Fail-safe

Function not equipped.
