The air conditioning compressor sensor is a precise electronic component mounted on the compressor of the car's air conditioning system. It measures the pressure or temperature of the refrigerant gas inside the air conditioning system and sends this data to the electronic control unit (ECU) to adjust the compressor's operation efficiently.
Compressor sensor specifications:
