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.

Fail-safe
Function not equipped.

Ion Sensor
Purpose/Function
Detects ion generation in the combustion chamber for detecting pre-ignition.
Detects ions which occur due to fuel combustion as current by applying bias
voltage to the spark plug, which is amplified in the ignition coil internal
circuit and input to the PCM.
