- Remove left footwell vent - A - (driver side).






- Reach through opening between left side of A/C unit and central tube (instrument panel cross member) or support on left side of A/C unit and rotate sensor - B - into position in which connector - A - can be disconnected.

- Disconnect the connector - A - (for example, using needle-nose pliers)






- Turn sensor - B - 90° and pull it out of A/C unit.

- Check seal - C - for proper seating when installing.

If the sensor - B - cannot be rotated, or is not accessible because of other components - B -, remove this component.

This illustration depicts sensor - B - with instrument panel removed. With instrument panel installed, the sensor - B - is visible from underneath when the footwell vent is removed (part of sensor with temperature sensor is visible in air guide channel).
