COMPONENT INSPECTION
In-vehicle Sensor
After disconnecting in-vehicle sensor connector M32, measure resis-
tance between terminals 1 and 4 at sensor component side, using
the table below.
If NG, replace in-vehicle sensor.
Optical Sensor CircuitINFOID:0000000003533268
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The optical sensor is located in t he center of the 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 front air control.
OPTICAL INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit whic h averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents adjustments 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 optical sensor will vary whenever the tr ees 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 t he ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize t he change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
SYMPTOM: Optical sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the
CONSULT-II, DTC B257F or B2580 is displayed. Without a CON-
SULT-II, code 50 or 52 is indicated on front air control as a result of
conducting the front air control self-diagnosis.
1.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN OPTI CAL SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect front air control connector and optical sensor con- nector.
3. Check continuity between opt ical sensor harness connector
M402 terminal 1 and 2 and front air control harness connector
M50 terminal 31 and 40.
4. Check continuity between opt ical sensor harness connector
M402 terminal 1 and 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
2.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETW EEN OPTICAL SENSOR AND BCM
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect BCM connector and optical sensor connector.
3. Check continuity between opt ical sensor harness connector
M402 terminal 3 and BCM harness connector M18 terminal 18.
4. Check continuity between opt ical sensor harness connector
M402 terminal 3 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace optical sensor. Refer to ATC-126 .
NG >> Repair harness or connector.

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 front air control.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the CON-
SULT-II, DTC B2581 or B2582 is di splayed. Without a CONSULT-II,
code 56 or 57 is indicated on front air control as a result of conduct-
ing the front air control self-diagnosis.
1.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M146 terminal 2 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
2.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN IN TAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect front air control connector.
3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M146 terminal 1 and front air control harness connector M49 ter-
minal 21.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK INTAKE SENSOR
Refer to "Intake Sensor Circuit".
OK or NG
OK >> 1. Replace front air control. Refer to ATC-123, "Removal and Installation"
2. Go to ATC-48, "A/C System Self-Diagnosis Function" and perform self-diagnosis.
NG >> 1. Replace intake sensor. Refer to ATC-127
.
2. Go to ATC-48, "
A/C System Self-Diagnosis Function" and perform self-diagnosis.
