Sunload Sensor CircuitEJS001HD
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The sunload sensor is located on the left defroster grille. It detects
sunload entering through windshield by means of a photo diode. The
sensor converts the sunload into a current value which is then input
into the auto amplifier.
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS
The auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents drastic swings in the ATC system operation due to small or quick variations in
detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The sunload
detected by the sun-load sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit
averages the detected sun-load over a period of time, so that the (insignificant) effect of the trees momentarily
obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sun-load, and the system will react
accordingly.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Sunload sensor circuit is open or shorted. (25 or -25) is
indicated on auto amp. as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis
STEP 2.)
1.CHECK SUN-LOAD SENSOR CIRCUIT BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND GROUND
Disconnect sunload sensor harness connector.

CLEANING
1. Soak the filter in a solution of a mild strength detergent cleaner
& water.
2. Move the filter lightly through the solution to clean.
3. Rinse with tap water.
4. Drain the filter water into a can etc., and dry.
CAUTION:
●The filter could become moldy or smell if it is left in a moist
state.

Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorEJS000VK
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (J-42220) in a low sunlight area (area
without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright
green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiag-
nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionEJS000VL
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool (J-41459).
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW PRESSURE side service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture's operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open system con-
nection and proceed with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak DetectorEJS000VM
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detector
or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set prop-
erly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-
tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci-
fied maintenance.

Operational CheckEJS001FE
The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system operates properly.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Turn fan switch to 1-speed. Blower should operate on low
speed.
2. Then turn fan switch to 2-speed, and continue checking blower
speed until all speeds are checked.
3. Leave blower on 4-speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-14, "
Blower Motor
Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Set the mode control dial to each position.
2. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri-
bution table.Refer to MTC-5, "
Discharge Air Flow" .
Intake door position is checked in the next step.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for mode door motor.
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING RECIRCULATION
1. Press REC switch one time. Recirculation indicator should illu-
minate.
2. Listen for intake door position change (you should hear blower
sound change slightly).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for MTC-11, "
Intake Door
Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.Conditions :Engine running and at normal operating temperature

Trouble Diagnoses
EKS003CF
Aiming Adjustment EKS003CG
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use an aiming machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp
tester. Aimers should be in good repair, calibrated and operated in accordance with respective operation man-
uals.
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can be done as follows:
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
●Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
●Place vehicle and tester on one and same flat surface.
●See that there is no-load in vehicle (coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank) other
than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
