Quick question identifying sensor on heater lines

[shomethe$$$]

I'm currently working on wiring for my project prelude and there is a white sensor coming off the heater core metal line on the driver backside of the engine, I can't find it in the wiring diagram, the temp sensor and temp gage sensors are near the thermostat but this sensor threads into the metal heater pipe, female two prong, any idea's?

please help

I can't remember what the official name is, but it is a temperature for the climate control. It keeps the heat from coming on until the coolant is warm.

Works as K-Dawg described.

is there a way bypass it, do I need it? where is the connector?

I dont know about a way to bypass it and i'm not sure if the EATC will function properly without it but in theory getting rid of it would just mean that it would blow air before the coolant was properly heated when you set the EATC to control the climate. Unless the EATC relies on this sensor to operate all together.

Completely unnecessary unless you're intending on replacing the Prelude's climate control system with a Taurus system. Even then, it's not critical in any way.

i have manual climate controls, that must be why i have nothing pluged into that sensor

thanks people, now to figure out which way the heater core hoses go
