In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor

The in-vehicle temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor installed behind a grill on the driver side of the center console finisher. The sensor is connected to a tube, the other end of which is connected to a venturi on the side casing of the heater. An air bleed from the heater, through the venturi, induces a flow of air down the tube, which draws cabin air through the grill and over the sensor.
