Sunload Sensor CircuitEJS004YR
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The sunload sensor is located on the defroster grille (left side). 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 amp.
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 sunload sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The processing circuit aver-
ages the detected sunload 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 sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR SUNLOAD SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Sunload sensor circuit is open or shorted.
LED of A/C switch does not illuminate as a result of performing self-
diagnosis STEP-2.
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect sunload sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between sunload sensor harness connector M74
terminal 1 (OR) and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit. It converts
temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator into a resis-
tance value which is then input to the auto amp.
