WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The in-vehicle temperature sensor:
- is located in the instrument panel to the right of the steering column.
- contains a thermistor which measures the in-vehicle air temperature and sends that reading to the EATC module.
- utilizes a venturi system with an aspirator hose running between the in-vehicle temperature sensor and the plenum chamber.
- airflow through the plenum chamber creates a suction through the aspirator hose, which draws air from the passenger compartment through the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
