A thermistor is a resistor that serves as a temperature sensor in some Nissan SUVs. The thermistor is usually part of the A/C system. It detects the temperature in your car and sends the signal to the computerized control model. As a result, the module automatically adjusts the airflow and temperature to keep the interior of your Xterra at your chosen settings.

Thermistors can be located in multiple locations, including in the cabin of your Nissan. Signs that your thermistor is broken include inefficient cooling, a fan that turns off too early, or erratic bursts of cool air.

Since the vehicle was first released in 1999, the Nissan Xterra heating and A/C panel has gone through several design phases. Although the location and exact options of buttons vary, standard control options include the following:

• Temperature: This knob enables you to select your desired cabin temperature. Some Nissans have dual-climate control systems, so the driver and passenger can choose for different temperatures.
• Mode: This option allows you to choose which vents the hot or cool air comes out of. Common options include the floor only, front vents only, floor and front vents, and windshield and floor.
• Rear defrost: In Nissans with integrated rear-window defrosters, this button activates the heating coils for safe de-icing
• A/C: This button turns the air conditioning on and off.
• Blower speed: This one adjusts the speed of the air that comes out of the vents, usually based on a numbered scale.

The control head is the assembly that includes the driver-facing control buttons as well as the electronics that sit behind the dashboard. This unit connects to the wiring inside your Nissan Xterra, creating a direct link to your HVAC system. In many cases, the control head includes the control modules, and you can also choose to purchase the exterior control panel on its own.

The sun load sensor is a temperature sensor that measures the amount and type of sunlight that’s entering the cabin of your Nissan Xterra. The sensor then sends the information to the control module, and the heat or A/C system adjusts accordingly. If you notice that the A/C system isn’t delivering enough cool air on sunny days, it can indicate a problem with this unit. The sun load sensor is usually situated on the top of the dashboard in your Xterra.
