AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor sends the outside temperature signal to the ECM. The ECM transmits the
signal to the skid control ECU as a communication signal. The skid control ECU controls the tire pressure
warning system, depending on the changes of the outside temperature.
HINT:
The signal sent from the ambient temperature sensor is also used in the A/C.

HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see
the chart below).
NOTICE:
Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resis-
tance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
