AMBIENT SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000003775374
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor (1) is attached on the radiator core support (left
side). It detects ambient temperature and converts it into a value
which is then input into the A/C auto amp.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The A/C auto amp. includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the temperature
detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the pr ocessing circuit retards the A/C auto amp. function. It
only allows the A/C auto amp. to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6 °F) per 100 sec-
onds.
This prevents constant adjustments due to momentary conditions, such as stopping after high speed driving.
Although the actual ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor
will increase. This is because the heat from the engine comp artment can radiate to the front grille area, loca-
tion of the ambient sensor.
Ambient Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003775375
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. (40 or 41 is
indicated on A/C auto amp. as a result of conducting the A/C auto
amp. self-diagnosis)
1.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect ambient sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between ambient sensor harness connector E1 terminal 1 and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 4.
2.CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN AM BIENT SENSOR AND A/C AUTO AMP.

INTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
If an interior lamp is left ON and does not turn OFF even when the doors are closed, the BCM turns off power
to the interior lamps automatically to save the batte ry 30 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The BCM controls power and ground to all interior lamps.
After the battery saver system turns the la mps OFF, the lamps will illuminate again when
• a signal is received from an Intelligent Key or main power window and door lock/unlock switch, or when the
front door LH lock assembly (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked
• a door is opened or closed
• the Intelligent Key is removed from or inserted into the ignition switch.
The Interior lamp battery saver control time peri od can be changed with the function setting of CONSULT-III.

If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
DTC IndexINFOID:0000000004109557
NOTE: Details of time display
• CRNT: Displays when there is a malfunction now or after returning to the normal condition until turning igni-
tion switch OFF → ON again.
• 1 - 39: Displayed if any previous malfunction is present when current condition is normal. It increases like 1
→ 2 → 3...38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever ignition switch OFF → ON. The counter
remains at 39 even if the number of cycles exceeds it. It is counted from 1 again when turning ignition switch
OFF → ON after returning to the normal condition if the malfunction is detected again.
