HINT:
*1 If the room temperature is approximately -20°C (-4°F) or lower, DTC B1411/11 may be output even
though the system is normal.
*2 If the ambient temperature is approximately -50°C (-58°F) or lower, a DTC may be output even
though the system is normal.
*3 If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could
be displayed. In this case, perform DTC check again while shining a light, such as inspection light, on the
solar sensor. If DTC B1421/21 is still displayed, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit.
*4 If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1424/24 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could
be displayed. In this case, perform DTC check again while shining a light, such as inspection light, on the
solar sensor. If DTC B1424/24 is still displayed, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit.
*5 If the check is being performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 (solar sensor circuit abnormal) could
be displayed. In this case, perform DTC check again while shining a light, such as inspection light, on the
solar sensor. If DTC B1421/21 is still displayed, there could be trouble in the solar sensor circuit.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the interior temperature that is used as the basis for temperature control and sends
appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier.
