Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
In-Vehicle Temperature and Humidity Sensor - Hybrid
The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor contains 2 thermistors, which separately measure the in-vehicle air temperature and humidity and send those readings to the HVAC module. The in-vehicle temperature sensor has an integral electric fan within the sensor that draws in-vehicle air across the thermistors.
The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor is mounted to the instrument panel to the right of the steering column.
