Purpose
The passenger compartment temperature sensor detects the cabin temperature.
Function
The passenger compartment temperature sensor converts the detected temperature to an electric signal.
Construction
A thermistor-type passenger compartment temperature sensor has been adopted.
The passenger compartment temperature sensor is installed to the lower panel (driver’s side).
Construction/operation
The thermistor changes the resistance according to the surrounding temperature.
The resistance decreases if the temperature increases, and conversely increases if the temperature decreases as shown in the figure.

Crankshaft, Main Bearing
Purpose, Function
The crankshaft converts the reciprocating movement of the piston to a rotational
movement via the connecting rod.
The main bearing forms an oil film on the outer surface of the crankshaft
journal to prevent wear due to sliding.
