DESCRIPTION

The cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature which is used to control the heater and air conditioning system AUTO mode. The resistance of the cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning control assembly applies a voltage (5 V) to the cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor.

The thermistor assembly is installed in the front part of the condenser to detect the ambient temperature and control the air conditioner. The thermistor assembly is connected to the combination meter assembly and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for controlling the room temperature. The thermistor assembly sends a signal to the air conditioning control assembly via the combination meter assembly. The resistance of the thermistor assembly changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The combination meter assembly applies a voltage (5 V) to the thermistor assembly and reads voltage changes as changes in the resistance of the thermistor assembly. The combination meter assembly sends the read signal to the air conditioning control assembly via CAN communication.

The evaporator temperature sensor (No. 1 cooler thermistor) is installed on the No. 1 cooler evaporator sub-assembly in the air conditioner unit to detect the temperature of the air that has passed through the No. 1 cooler evaporator sub-assembly and is used to control the air conditioning. It sends signals to the air conditioning control assembly. The resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (No. 1 cooler thermistor) changes in accordance with the cooled air temperature that has passed through the No. 1 cooler evaporator sub-assembly. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning control assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the evaporator temperature sensor (No. 1 cooler thermistor) and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (No. 1 cooler thermistor) changes. This sensor is used for frost prevention.

This sensor detects the position of the air mix damper and sends appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier assembly. The position sensor is built into the air mix control servo motor. This adjusts the amount of air passing through the heater core after passing the No. 1 cooler evaporator sub-assembly and controls the temperature of the output air.
