Where is the outdoor temperature sensor located on the Chery A3?
2 Answers
The outdoor temperature sensor of the Chery A3 is located in the engine compartment. Method to locate the outdoor temperature sensor on the Chery A3: Press the hood release switch inside the car, open the hood, and you will find the sensor in the low-lying area on the right side of the engine cylinder head and the left side of the battery. Introduction to the temperature sensor: The ambient temperature sensor is a device used to detect the ambient temperature around the car. The car's control system compares the outside temperature with the interior temperature and then determines the control method. The ambient temperature sensor provides the ECU with the outside temperature signal, and the ECU uses this signal to regulate the interior temperature to meet the comfort needs of the occupants.
Years of driving experience have taught me that the Chery A3's ambient temperature sensor is typically installed in the front bumper or radiator grille area of the vehicle. This location is deliberately chosen to be away from engine heat sources, ensuring accurate external temperature readings. If you're looking for it, pop the hood and peer inward from the front side – you'll spot a small probe-like component behind the grille or in the inner corner of the bumper. The sensor's positioning is ingeniously designed to prevent misreadings; if it gets displaced or clogged, the display may consistently show incorrect temperatures, causing the AC to malfunction or misjudge weather risks. Regular dust cleaning is essential maintenance. Remember, avoid DIY removal if unfamiliar with the location – it's best to consult a professional to prevent damaging wiring and affecting driving data.
