Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation

AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The ambient air temperature sensor:
- is located in front of the condenser core.
- provides a resistance value to a reference voltage from the DATC module that is proportional to the outside ambient temperature. The resulting voltage is then returned to the DATC module where it is interpreted as a temperature reading.
