Where is the outdoor temperature sensor of the Sagitar located?

After removing the left fog lamp grille, you can see the wiring harness extending to the left side of the condenser. 1. Introduction: A temperature sensor (temperature transducer) is a type of sensor that converts temperature variables into standardized output signals for transmission. Temperature sensors can be divided into two major categories based on measurement methods: contact and non-contact types. According to the characteristics of sensor materials and electronic components, they are classified into thermistors and thermocouples. They are widely used in temperature detection, monitoring, display, temperature control, overheating protection, and other fields. 2. Principle: It utilizes the principle of resistance change of a thermistor at different temperatures. As the temperature rises or falls, the resistance of the thermistor increases or decreases, and the ECU captures the voltage change to obtain the outdoor temperature data.
The other day when I took my Sagitar for maintenance, I specifically asked the technician about this. The ambient temperature sensor is usually hidden behind the front bumper, to be more precise, in the area between the grille and radiator. It's quite a clever design - it avoids mud splashed up by the tires while ensuring unobstructed airflow. On my 2019 model, it's located inside the driver-side fog light housing, with the probe facing outward mounted on a bracket. Replacement isn't complicated either, just two clips. When washing the car, be careful not to spray high-pressure water directly at that spot, though rain isn't a problem. If the dashboard temperature display starts jumping around or shows dashes, you should check if flying stones have damaged the probe wiring.
