In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor

The in-vehicle temperature sensor contains a thermistor, which measures the in-vehicle air temperature and sends that reading to the HVAC module. An aspirator hose is connected between the heater core and evaporator core housing and the in-vehicle temperature sensor. The aspirator hose uses airflow through the heater core and evaporator core housing to create a Venturi-type suction to draw in vehicle air through the in-vehicle temperature sensor (across the thermistor).

The in-vehicle temperature sensor is mounted to the RH lower portion of the instrument cluster finish panel.
