it uses outside air temperature to calculate the temperature of the air taken into the engine so that the engine can combust as efficiently as possible, obviously correlating & teaming readings from other sensors such as lambda/throttle position/manifold actual pressure/mass air flow etc.
were is the location of the ambient air temperature sensor for a 2001 bmw 330 i
The airflow ambient temperature sensor is located on the air intake housing. The sensor should be labeled as the airflow ambient temperature sensor.
The ambient air temperature sensor, on your Nissan automobile, is located in the drivers side mirror. The sensor is on the bottom of the mirror.
The ambient air temperature sensor, on a Caterpillar see 13 diesel engine, is located between the air filter and the air intake on the engine. The sensor should be near the air filter.
It can, yes. If the ambient air temperature is registering as too cold, the sensor bulb will prevent the AC from engaging.
ambient temp is the outside air temp
The ambient air temperature sensor is in front of the radiator. Connecting wires come from the right, near the rear of the left head light, as you are facing the engine from the front of the car.
It monitors the atmospheric (outside) temperature.
measures the ambient air temp (outside air temp) and sends that info to the computer to adjust air/fuel ratio for best burn.
You can find it in the air filter box.
P0071=Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Range/Performance. There is a temp sensor in the fresh air intake that monitors the ambient air temp coming into the engine. Check to see if it is disconnected. On this van, the ambient temperature sensor is located in front of the bottom of the ac condenser.
The 1985 Nissan 300 ambient air temperature sensor can be found on the bottom of the drivers side mirror. If you look at the bottom of the mirror housing you will see the sensor.
