WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The in-vehicle temperature sensor operates in the following manner:
- A thermistor in the in-vehicle temperature sensor measures air temperature inside the passenger compartment.
- An aspirator hose and elbow is connected between the heater core and evaporator core housing and the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
- The aspirator hose and elbow takes air from the heater core and evaporator core housing air stream to create a suction in the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
- The suction draws in-vehicle air into the in-vehicle temperature sensor and across the thermistor.
