Check voltage between terminals S5 and TS of air conditioner
control assembly connector.
(1) Remove console upper panel. (See page
BO-111 ).
(2) Remove A/C control assembly with connec-
tors still connected.
(3) Turn ignition switch ON.Measure voltage between terminals S5 and TS
of air conditioner control assembly connector
when the solar sensor is subjected to an electric
light, the sensor is covered by a cloth.
ConditionVoltage
Sensor subjected to electric light
Sensor covered by a cloth
Below 4 V
4 ±4.5 V
In addition, when the inspection light is gradu-
ally moved away from the sensor, the voltage
increases.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page AC-36).However,
when Diag. code 21 is displayed, check and
replace air conditioner control assembly.
Check solar sensor.
(1) Remove solar sensor from dashboard.
(2) disconnect solar sensor connector.
Connect positive (+) lead of ohmmeter to terminal 2
and negative (±) lead to terminal 1 of the solar sensor.
(1) Cover the sensor by a cloth.
(2) Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of solar sensor connector.
(1) Remove the cloth from the solar sensor andsubject the sensor to electric light.
(2) Measure resistance.
Resistance: Approx, 4 k (continuity)
In addition, as the electric light is moved gradu-
ally away from the sensor the resistance in-
creases.
Replace solar sensor.
Check for open and short in harness and connector between air conditioner
control assembly and solar sensor (See page IN-27).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and replace air conditioner control
assembly.
