4. SENSORS AND ACTUATORS
1) Sun Sensor
It is installed on the upper left end of instrument panel. It is using characteristics that the
amount of current changes according to amount of light on the photosensitive surface. Photo
diode, converts the changes in light intensity into electrical changes, detects the amount of light
coming through windshield and changes it into current and then sends the signal to FATC
controller.
(1) Inspection
Remove the sun sensor and measure the current between terminals under sunlight.
Measure the current again under shade. It is in normal conditions if the measured value is
less than the measured value under sunlight.
Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position.
Measure the voltage to the sun sensor from FATC connector. (approx. 2.5 V under sunlight
and 4.8 V under shade.)
If the voltage value cannot be measured, check the circuit for open. If the measured value is
within the specified range, replace the FATC controller. 1.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
2) Active Incar/Humidity Sensor (AIH Sensor)
The AIH sensor is installed at the driver side instrument panel undercover. It is a sensor that
detects interior temperature and humidity.
(1) Location
(2) Functions
Interior temperature sensor
▶
This sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor and detects the interio
r
temperature with air coming from senor hole and then sends the voltage value according to the
changed resistance to FATC controller.
Humidity sensor
▶
This sensor detects the interior humidity with humidity cell and then sends the voltage value
according to the changed humidity to FATC controller.

AIR BAG SYSTEM
3. AIRBAG FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1) Bag (Cushion)
The airbag system performance is influenced on the cushion size, shape and position.
The cushion strength is a important parameter on the impact absorb effect.
Therefore, the control of the airbag performance depends on cushion size, shape, inflato
r
characteristic and vent hole size for the gas discharge.
The cushion’s material and folding function to control the cushion deployment
direction and the performance to protect passenger’s face. ·

2) Airbag Module
The driver airbag module is under the center pad of the steering wheel.
The passenger airbag module is installed in the instrument panel at passenger side.
The driver and passenger side airbag is inside each seat.
3) Module Cover/Housing
It is a type of a container that includes the cushion and the inflator.
The module housing functions to deliver the reaction force between the body structure and
the airbag (The airbag reaction is absorbed generally to the steering wheel or instrument
panel).
The module cover must be considered in a viewpoint of protection between exterior,
internal units and cushion. Also the module cover should be designed not to cause any
personal injury for deployment. ·
·
·
Do not disassemble the airbag module because unintentional deployment of the airbags
resulting from any damage or interference of the module can cause injury. -
