This genuine Nissan ambient air temperature sensor is located at the front of the vehicle, typically behind the front grille, to accurately measure the outside air temperature. This sensor provides critical data to the vehicle's automatic climate control system, allowing it to regulate the cabin temperature effectively and display the external temperature on your dashboard.
Replacement is necessary if the sensor fails, providing incorrect readings or no reading at all. A faulty sensor can cause the automatic climate control to malfunction, leading to an uncomfortable cabin environment as it struggles to maintain the set temperature.
If a failing ambient air temperature sensor is not replaced, you may experience issues such as the air conditioning system not cooling sufficiently or the heater running when it's not required. It can also lead to an incorrect or blank temperature reading on your vehicle's information display, and in some cases, may affect the system's ability to demist the windscreen efficiently.
