Description - Temperature Sensors

Temperature sensors are commonly constructed using temperature sensitive resistors, also known as thermistors.

A thermistor is just a temperature dependent resistor. Unfortunately, its dependence is highly nonlinear, but fortunately for most applications the non-linearity is easily compensated for.

The standard formula for calculating the resistance of a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor as a function of temperature is as follows, where;

  • R25C is the nominal thermistor resistance at room temperature,
  • ß is the thermistor’s material constant in degrees Kelvin.
  • T is the thermistor’s actual temperature in degrees Celsius.

Functions - Temperature Sensors

In the W220 as in other M-B vehicles there are many instances of NTC Thermistors used to measure temperature. Examples are:

  • ACC In Cabin Air Temperature Sensor (Overhead Control Panel (OCP)
  • ACC In Cabin Air Temperature Sensor (Pushbutton Control Module)
  • Automatic transmission fluid Temperature
  • Engine coolant temperature
  • Mass Air Flow
  • Oil temperature
  • ACC Outside Temperature Sensor
  • Refrigerant Temperature Sensor
