What are the effects of a faulty outdoor temperature sensor?

Outdoor temperature sensor failure will affect the normal operation of the vehicle air conditioning system. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The outdoor temperature sensor, also known as the ambient temperature sensor, is usually installed near the front bumper or grille. Its function is to detect the ambient temperature outside the vehicle. The vehicle air conditioning control system determines the control mode based on the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle. 2. Principle: The outdoor temperature sensor is a sensing component of the automatic air conditioning control system. The outdoor defrost temperature sensor mainly detects the temperature of the outdoor condenser coil. When the outdoor coil temperature remains below -6 degrees Celsius for 2 consecutive minutes, the indoor unit switches to defrost mode. When the resistance value of the outdoor coil sensor is too large, the indoor unit cannot operate normally.
