How do I know if my interior air temperature sensor needs replacing?

Symptoms include the climate control system not maintaining the set temperature, blowing air that is consistently too hot or too cold, or erratic temperature fluctuations within the cabin. Diagnostic trouble codes related to temperature sensors can also indicate a problem.
