Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Evaporator Temperature Sensor [Manual Air Conditioner]
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.

Intermediate Shaft Removal/Installation
WARNING:
The steering column (EPS motor) temperature increases directly after continuous
turning of the steering mechanism which could cause burns if it is touched.
Before performing any servicing, verify that the steering column has cooled
off.

Hazardous Driving
WARNING
Be extremely careful if it is necessary to downshift on slippery surfaces: Downshifting
into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is dangerous. The sudden change
in tire speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.
When driv ...
