Kia Stinger CK: Air Conditioning System / Evaporator Temperature Sensor

Description and operation
Description

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
Inspection
1.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.

3.

Measure resistance between terminals “+” and “-” of the evaporator temperature sensor.
