DescriptionThe ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the condenser and detects ambient air temperature. It is a negative type thermistor; resistance will increase with lower temperature, and decrease with higher temperature.The sensor output will be used for discharge temperature control, temperature regulation door contrl, blower m
InspectionOperating Logic Test (Manual only)Inspect the PTC operation by confirmation logic as follows.1.Entering(1)Set the Floor mode and maximum heating position.(2)Turn off the blower switch.(3)Press the intake (recirculation) button 5 times or more.
