Where is the interior temperature sensor located on the Chery A5?
3 Answers
The interior temperature sensor of the Chery A5 is located inside the evaporator box. Function and Principle: Its function is to monitor the ambient temperature and air conditioning temperature, and control the operation of the air conditioning. The working principle is that its resistance changes with temperature, and it works in conjunction with the controller to control the compressor's start-stop temperature. Introduction to the Interior Temperature Sensor: The interior temperature sensor includes: the interior temperature sensor and the intake pipe of the interior temperature sensor. The interior temperature sensor is made of thermistor material with a negative temperature coefficient characteristic. Regulating Interior Temperature: The interior air temperature sensor transmits the temperature signal to the ECU. The ECU analyzes and judges the signal, then sends commands to the blower to control its speed, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the interior temperature.
In the Chery A5, the interior temperature sensor is typically located on the top of the dashboard near the inner side of the windshield. As someone who often drives this model, I've noticed it's positioned there to monitor cabin temperature changes, helping the automatic climate control system adjust accordingly to prevent excessive heat or cold while driving. If you're trying to locate it, I recommend checking above the passenger side or the central part of the console first. Some models might have it installed on the roof area behind the rearview mirror, but most Chery A5s position it on the dashboard. If you can't find it, try gently lifting the small cover on the dashboard, but avoid forcing it open to prevent damaging the wiring. Additionally, accumulated dust on the sensor can affect its accuracy, causing erratic air conditioning performance—simply brushing it lightly during routine maintenance can resolve this issue. Overall, knowing its location allows you to clean it yourself at the first sign of trouble, saving unnecessary trips to the repair shop.
Common issues during car repairs: The interior temperature sensor of the Chery A5 is typically fixed at the top of the dashboard, near the edge of the windshield. It is positioned there to directly read airflow and accurately control the air conditioning system. If it malfunctions, the temperature sensing inside the car may become inaccurate, leading to erratic or non-functional air conditioning. When locating it, start by checking behind the steering wheel or on the center console; sometimes it is hidden under a plastic cover, requiring careful removal of screws without disturbing other wiring. Related checks include using a multimeter to test for stable voltage and inspecting wiring harnesses for aging or short circuits. Early detection can prevent more severe electrical failures. In practice, the sensor is prone to being obstructed or accumulating dust, causing inaccurate readings, so regular cleaning and replacing old parts are crucial. While not a critical safety issue, compromised comfort can affect long-distance driving focus.
