Hey guys.....I was doing a little ECU code checking today and found an odd one.

4-1-4

The book says: Driver's side interior temperature sensor inlet fan seized

OK,,,,,what am I looking for?
is this really important to the AC system?

any help in enlighting me as to what this does or where it is would help.

I remember reading that the fan gets clogged up with dust and stops working. I am pretty sure you can just clean it out and you should be good. I forget where in the car it is though.

 

Can anyone help me find this fan,,,also is there a temp sensor involved here as the code says?

Chebucto

 

if you look over your front door openings on the inside of the car, you will see a small hole on the headliner.

 

Ok,,,so that is the sensor,,,I got that from the book, but the code says its a fan, so now Im really confused.


Chebucto

 

I believe the fan blows or sucks air into the sensor.

 

ok, so If I remove the sensor, will I find a tiny little fan up there?

Chebucto

 

Yes that is a fan/sensor. But you have to pull the headliner down first to get it out.
The fan sucks air in across the sensor.

 

Ok then, just how important is this sensor, everything like head, ac will just work fine without it right?

Chebucto

 

Yes it will.
