Description and operation
Description

Installed on the front-end module, the Ambient Temperature Sensor (ATS) senses the ambient temperature. ECM receives the intake air temperature and ambient air temperature at the same time to precisely control the intake air quantity supplied through the turbocharger. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and vice versa. This sensor has a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) and its resistance is in inverse proportion to the temperature.
