Kia Stinger: Air Conditioning System / Evaporator Temperature Sensor
Description and operation
The evaporator temperature sensor detects the evaporator core temperature and
interrupts compressor relay power in order to prevent evaporator from freezing by
excessive cooling.

Repair procedures
1. |
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
|
2. |
Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.
|
3. |
Measure resistance between terminals “+” and “-” of the evaporator temperature
sensor.
