What is the purpose of temperature sensor in car?

so when your using the heater it show how your engine is and if its on red turn on the ac fast or your car will over heat and stuff will melt


Why does the temperature gauge show hot but the car does not over heat in a 1997 Honda accord lx 4 cylinder?

A short between the heater switch and temperature gauge.


Does the engine temperature control the heat in the car?

The engine's thermostat controls the engine coolant temperature. The temperature control inside for the heater controls the cabin heat.


Why does temperature gauge go down if heat is on?

If this is about a car: the heater in a car is basically another radiator, but this one sitting inside the car. When you turn the heater on you draw heat from the engine and into the car. If you aren't running the car hard enough the temperature in the engine will drop.


What does it mean when there is a strong burning odor when you turn off the car?

my car over heat but the fan is runing and the and the temperature gage doesn't go hot until am going up a hill


What effect if any does this energy transfer have on the overall efficiency of the car engine?

As a "heat engine", a car engine must rid itself of heat to continue. Efficiency of the heat engine depends on the difference in temperature; therefore, as the temperature outside reaches the temperature inside, the engine stops.


Why the temperature of the car is more than the surrounding temperature?

The car absorbs heat from the surrounding until it reaches thermal equilibrium, where the car and the surrounding temperature is balanced. However, heat conducts faster from solids then from gases, so we feel the heat much faster. Also, there is less air circulation in a car due to limited space, resulting in heat unable to escape while in surrounding, the hotter particles can float up and allow the heat to be transferred away.


What does the heater control switch do?

It adjusts the heat in the car so you can control your AC and heat to the temperature you like.


How is heating related to a substance's temperature?

As an object is heated, the rate of increase in temperature is proportional to the rate of heat added. The proportionality is called the heat capacity. Because the heat capacity is actually a function of temperature in real materials, the total amount of energy added will be equal to the integral of the heat capacity function over the interval from the initial temperature to the final temperature. If you just assume an average heat capacity over the temperature range, then the rise in temperature will be exactly proportional to the amount of heat added.


What will happen if you drive car with a antifreeze leak?

The car will over heat.


When does a cooling fan come on in a car?

when the car starts to over heat


How quick does a car heat up in the sun?

The inside of a car can become 20 degrees hotter in just a few minutes. For instance, if the outside temperature is 90 degrees, the car can become over 130 degrees in just an hour.
