Infrared Temperature Sensor: Description
The infrared temperature sensor consists of two infrared transducers that are concealed behind a clear lens located near the bottom of the center panel outlet near the top of the instrument panel center bezel (Fig 1). These sensors are used only on models equipped with the optional automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system. A molded plastic connector receptacle on the bottom of the panel outlet unit is concealed behind the center bezel. A short, dedicated jumper wire harness routed behind the center bezel connects the sensors directly to the ATC A/C-heater control module near the bottom of the center bezel. The infrared temperature sensor is integral to the center bezel panel outlet unit. The infrared sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the center bezel panel outlet unit must be replaced.
