External Temperature on the Climate Control

Anybody have any idea where is the sensor for the 'external temperature' on the climate control located? Just need to know it to satisfy my curiousity...thanks.

isnt it in the middle of the wind screen where the dashboard meet the glass? there is a ball there.

I don't know whether am i right.. i think it's the round thing that look like a knob in the front center of the dashboard that also detect the light (auto light feature)

Hmm is it? I thought it only detects light..but wouldn't that be internal room temperature if it is located inside the car? My friend who drives a Stream told me his is located next one side of his inner front bumper.

It says that is call Photo sensor:

Description
1. The photo sensor is located at the center of defrost nozzle.
2. The photo sensor contains a photovoltaic (sensitive to sunlight) diode. The solar radiation received by
portion, generates an electromotive force in proportion to the amount of radiation received which is transferred
automatic temperature control module so that the solar radiation compensation will be performed.


So ermm correct?

Hmmm thanks tish..Ok I'll go do some experiments on it..see if it will reduce temp when I cover it with a piece of paper..thanks.

ok, im also not sure, but i think it is exterior temp sensor

I don't think that's the temp sensor...otherwise how to determine the temp at night when there's no sunlight? hmm I suspect it's somewhere in the engine bay.

hmmm... paiseh bro, cant help u much

It's alright lah. I think I'll go disturb my SE and make him find out for me..hehe

the center ball-like thing is for our auto-light feature

That's the temp. sensor for aircon auto -climate mode not the auto-light feature and it can detect temp. whether it's day not night...

i believe the ball in the centre of the dash board can detect afew things together, including outside temp, the incar temp was detected by the incar temp sensor.
