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.

REFRIGERANT LINES
 O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (high-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (high-
pressure pipe 3).
 Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sensor
can be located in the same position.
 When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Removal and Installation of Expansion ValveINFOID:0000000001328230
REMOVAL
1. Remove evaporator. Refer to ATC-137, "Removal and Installation of Evaporator".
2. Remove mounting bolts, and then remove expansion valve. CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of evaporator with suitable material
such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
 Replace O-rings of evaporator with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
 O-rings are different from low-pressure pipe 1 (h igh-pressure pipe 2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (high-
pressure pipe 3).
 When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking of Refrigerant LeaksINFOID:0000000001328231
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage ma y indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electrical leak detector or fluorescent dye leak
detector (SST: J-42220).
If dye is observed, c onfirm the leak with an electrical leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was repaired and
not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electric al leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electrical leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve the
chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluore scent Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000001328232
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (SST: J-42220) in a low sunlight area
(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all co mponents, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a
bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner (SST: J-43872) to prevent future
misdiagnosis. Low-pressure pipe 1 bracket mounting bolt
