Description

The in-car temperature sensor is built into the heater and A/C control unit. The sensor contains a thermistor that measures the interior temperature. The signal, determined by the resistance value that changes according to the sensed interior temperature, is sent to the heater control unit, and based on this signal the control unit regulates the interior temperature to the set value.
