Purpose
The evaporator temperature sensor detects the airflow temperature passing through the evaporator.
Function
The evaporator temperature sensor converts the detected temperature to an electric signal.
Construction
A thermistor-type evaporator temperature sensor has been adopted.
A fin-thermo-type sensor has been adopted to the sensor area of the evaporator temperature sensor which inserts between the evaporator fins.
The evaporator temperature sensor is installed to the A/C unit.
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.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor [Full Auto Air Conditioner]Oil Control Valve (OCV)
Purpose, Function
The OCV switches the oil passage to the hydraulic variable valve timing actuator
to control the opening/closing period of the exhaust valve.
Construction
The OCV is installed to the exhaust camshaft cap (No.1).
The OCV consists of a spool valve wh ...
Odometer/Tripmeter
Purpose
The odometer/tripmeter notifies the user of the total travel distance or
the traveled distance over a specific interval.
Function
The instrument cluster calculates the traveled distance based on the traveled
distance signal from the PCM and displays it.
The ...
Installing Child-Restraint Systems
Accident statistics reveal that a child is safer in the rear seat. The front
passenger's seat is clearly the worst choice for any child under 12, and with rear-facing
childrestraint systems it is clearly unsafe due to air bags.
NOTE
Even if your vehicle is equipped with front passenger sea ...
