KIA Niro: Inlet Temperature Sensor
Inlet Temperature Sensor #1 (Main High Voltage)
Description
The inlet temperature sensor is installed on top of the high voltage battery module, and it detects the air temperature inside the battery system assembly.
The inlet temperature sensor value determines the cooling fan operation status.

Low Voltage DC/DC Converter
Specification
Description
The Low Voltage DC/DC is integrated into the HPCU. It charges the auxiliary
battery as a substitute
for generator by converting the high voltage (DC 270V) from the high voltage
battery into low voltage
(DC 12V).
