AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning Sys-
tem)AC–43
AC
DESCRIPTION
The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel, detects sunlight and
controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the solar sensor varies according to
the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight
decreases, the output voltage decreases. The A/C amplifier detects voltage output from the solar sensor.

NOTICE:
While using the battery during inspection, do not
bring the positive and negative tester probes too
close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
HINT:
• Use an incandescent light for inspection. Bring it
within about 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the solar sensor.
• As the inspection light is moved away from the
sensor, the voltage increases.

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the
table below.
Standard voltage
HINT:
If the measured voltage is not within the normal range,
there may be a malfunction in the A/C amplifier, A/C
pressure sensor, or wire harness. It is also possible that
the amount of refrigerant may not be appropriate.
NG
OK
(a) Measure the voltage when the following conditions are
satisfied.
NOTICE:
• If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side
becomes extremely high during the inspection (if
the voltage exceeds 4.8 V), the fail-safe function
stops compressor operation. Therefore, measure
the voltage before the fail-safe operation.
• It is necessary to measure the voltage for a
certain amount of time (approximately 10
minutes) because the problem symptom may
recur after a while.
HINT:
When the outside air temperature is low (below -1.5
C
(29.3
F)), the compressor stops due to operation of the
ambient temperature sensor and the evaporator
temperature sensor to prevent the evaporator from
freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm
indoor environment.
