The ambient air temperature sensor is located on the inside of the right front bumper beam. See Fig 1 . This sensor will inform the ATC system of the ambient temperature outside the vehicle. This sensor is used by the ATC system to adjust blower speed temperature offsets, evaporator temperatures and mode control.
