Sunload Sensor CircuitINFOID:0000000001328198
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor is located on the passenger’s side front
defroster grille. It detects sunload entering through windshield by
means of a photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a cur-
rent value which is then input into the unified meter and A/C amp.
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS
The unified meter and A/C amp. also includes a processi ng 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 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.
