In Car Sensor
It is a photodiode used for detecting quantity of
solar radiation. This sensor converts the offset
signal generated by changes in the interior
temperature (which results from fluctuations in
solar radiation) into photoelectric current to enter
into the automatic heater/air conditioner control
unit.
This sensor is provided at top of the defroster grill.
Legend
(1) Sun SensorActuator
The actuators are power driven type containing a
small motor. Receiving output current from the
automatic heater/air conditioner control unit,
actuators drive the heater and blower unit mode
doors.
Actuators consist of the mode actuator used for
switching the mode (blow port selection), the mix
actuator used for changing aperture of the air mix
door, the intake actuator used for switching the
intake mode(fresh air/interior air).

The actuator changes the motor speed using the
gear and drives each door rotating the output axis
united with the sliding contact.

2. Air Flow Control
¥ In the Auto Mode
The automatic heater/air conditioner control unit
operates on the setup temperature signal and
other sensor signals to derive the total signal.
Then, the control unit adjusts base potential of
the power transistor to match it to the voltage
pattern of the target fan so that stage-less fan
speed control can be achieved.
When solar radiation quantity is detected in the
VENT or B/L mode, the control unit increases the
minimum fan voltage to offset.
When FH or FC is selected from the temperature
control switch, air flow is accordingly fixed to
MAX HI or AUTO HI.
¥ In the Manual Mode
Air flow specified from the fan switch is entered
to the automatic heater/air conditioner control
unit as the manual signal. The signal modifies
the air flow to the level specified from the fan
switch so that the required fan voltage is
attained.3. Mode (Blow Port) Control
The automatic heater/air conditioner control unit
operates on the setup temperature from the
control switch, and temperature and solar
radiation quantify from the sensors to determine
the total mode control signal. According to the
pattern specified by this signal, the control unit
selects either one of the VENT, BI-LEVEL, FOOT
or DEF/FOOT mode.
The mode actuator determines the rotation
direction comparing the target position against
the current position being determined by the
position detection signal.
When FH or FC is selected for the temperature
from the temperature control switch, mode is
accordingly fixed to the VENT or FOOT.
¥ In the manual operation of the mode switch, you
can select a desired blow port mode pressing
the corresponding mode switch.
¥ Operating the DEF mode switch selects the DEF
for the blow port mode.

*1. Displaying the Current Trouble Diagnosing Table
Start the engine while holding down both the Auto switch and the DEF switch on the control panel, and
the table will appear in approximately 10 seconds to the indicator lamp (LED) of the air conditioning
switch. Result of the diagnosis along the following 9 items will be shown one by one in 0.5 second
interval irrespective of presence or absence of a trouble for a given item. When the display 9 items is
completed, it is repeated with 3 seconds of interval in between. A failed item is indicated by flashing of
the LED that is repeated 3 times within 0.5 seconds. If a trouble is indicated, you can locate the failed
section by knowing when in the total sequence it has been displayed.
Items for Current Trouble Diagnosis
As shown above, display of result along nine items is repeated with 3-second interval in between.
Note 1: When checking the solar radiation sensor, apply sufficient light using a 60W bulb.
Otherwise, it can be diagnosed as failed.
Note 2: If the temperature setting lever is set on both ends (one set to 18¡C, blue scale = Full cool and
the other to 31¡C, red scale = Full hot), they can be diagnosed as failed.
Note 3: Likewise, the fan switch can be diagnosed as failed if set on both ends.
