Where is the outdoor temperature sensor located on the Volkswagen Polo
1 Answers
The outdoor temperature sensor on the Volkswagen Polo is located at the lower left side of the front bumper, near the grille. The main function of the car's outdoor temperature sensor is to provide the ECU with signals about the temperature inside and outside the vehicle. The ECU compares these signals to determine the temperature inside the car. At a specific intake air vent position, the position of the intake air vent is determined based on changes in indoor and outdoor temperatures, which affects the air temperature and freshness inside the car. In cooling conditions, especially when starting to cool down from a high interior temperature, the intake air vent is usually in the recirculation position. Over time, as the interior air temperature decreases, the intake air vent can be adjusted to allow 20% fresh air or full fresh air, depending on the ambient temperature. The position of the mode vent is determined based on changes in the interior temperature.
