The Ford Escort outdoor temperature sensor is located at the front bumper air intake grille. Below are detailed explanations about the outdoor temperature sensor: 1. Function: The outdoor temperature sensor serves two main purposes. First, it detects the ambient temperature outside the vehicle, and the control system determines the control method based on the difference between the outdoor and indoor temperatures. Second, it provides the ECU with the temperature signal outside the vehicle. The ECU compares this signal with the indoor temperature signal to determine the temperature inside the vehicle, meeting the needs of the occupants. 2. Classification: According to the measurement method, it can be divided into contact and non-contact types. Based on the sensor material and electronic component characteristics, it can be classified into thermal resistors and thermocouples.
