The outlet control thermistor measuresoutgoing air temperature and provides temperaturechange information to the power board. The outletcontrol thermistor has the same resistance valuesas the inlet control thermistor. (See Inlet ControlThermistor.)Operation of the outlet control thermistor can bechecked by using the Outlet Thermistor test inservice test mode.
