IN-VEHICLE SENSOR

Description

In-vehicle Sensor





The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on instrument driver lower panel.
It converts variations in compartment air temperature drawn from the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.
Aspirator





The aspirator (1) is located on drivers side of heater & cooling unit assembly. It produces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater & cooling unit assembly, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.







Component Function Check


1. PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
