Kia Sportage: Air conditioning System / Ambient Temperature Sensor Description and operation
Located in front of the condenser, the ambient temperature sensor detects the
ambient air temperature. It is a negative type thermistor; resistance will increase
with lower temperature, and decrease with higher temperature.
The sensor output will be used for discharging temperature control, temperature
regulation door control, blower motor level control, mix mode control and in-car
humidity control.

will stop.
The compressor will operate manually.
