NOTE:
When the sunload sensor is checked indoors or in the shade, open circuit might be indicated. Always check
the sunload sensor at a place where sun shines directly on it.
*1: Only present malfunction is indicated for open circuit of sunload sensor. (However, stored malfunction can be indicated for
short circuit of sunload sensor.)

Diagnostic Procedure for Sensors
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
AUTO A/C CONTROL MODULE AND COM-
BINATION METER.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from auto A/C
control module and combination meter.
3) Measure the resistance in harness
between auto A/C control module and combi-
nation meter.
Connector & terminal
(i10) No. 30 — (i48) No. 14:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 2.Repair the har-
ness between auto
A/C control mod-
ule and combina-
tion meter.
2 CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR CIRCUIT.
Check the ambient sensor circuit. 8, CHECK OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE INDI-
CATOR, INSPECTION, Combination Meter
System.>Is the ambient sensor circuit
normal?Go to step 3.Repair the ambi-
ent sensor circuit.
3 CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in auto A/C control module
connector.Is there poor contact in con-
nector?Repair the con-
nector.Replace the A/C
control module.

1 CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS
(AB1) AND (B31).
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait more than
20 seconds.
2) Remove the side sill cover. (Driver’s side)
3) Confirm that firm contact is secured
between connectors (AB1) and (B31).Is the poor contact in connec-
tors (AB1) and (B31)?Repair the body
harness or replace
the airbag main
harness with body
harness.Go to step 2.
