General Information
Component Location
General Description
The ambient temperature sensor is located at the center stay of the condenser and detects ambient air temperature. It is a negative type thermistor whose resistance is inversely proportional to the temperature. Its output is used for sensor fail-safe, temperature regulation door lock, blower motor level control, mix mode control and in-car humidity control.
DTC Description
DTC B1237 sets if the Ambient Sensor signal is at or below 0.1 V for 0.3 seconds.
