Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Ambient Temperature Sensor [Full Auto Air Conditioner]
Purpose
-
The ambient temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature.
Function
-
The ambient temperature sensor converts the detected temperature to an electric signal.
Construction
-
A thermistor-type ambient temperature sensor has been adopted.
-
The ambient temperature sensor is installed to the shroud panel on the back side of the front bumper.
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.
Fail-safe
-
Function not equipped.

Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates
the brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automaticall ...

Outline
The TCM drives shift solenoids No.1, 2, 3, 4, the pressure control solenoid,
and the on/off solenoid based on inputs signals from each switch and sensor,
and performs direct electronic control of the clutch engagement pressure. As
a result, precise hydraulic pressure control ...
