D: SUNLOAD SENSOR
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
•Sensor identifies that sunlight is at maximum. Then, A/C system is controlled to COOL side.
•Sensor identifies that sunlight is at minimum. Then, A/C system is controlled to HOT side.
NOTE:
When the sunload sensor check is performed indoors or in the shade, it could be diagnosed as having an
open circuit. Always check the sunload sensor with the sun shining on it.

2. General Description
A: CAUTION
CAUTION:
•The airbag system wiring harnesses and con-
nectors are yellow. Do not use electrical test
equipment on these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness.
•While diagnostic items are being checked, do
not operate radios, portable telephones, etc.
which emit electromagnetic waves near or in-
side the vehicle.
•When turning the ignition switch to ON or
OFF while diagnostic items are being checked,
do not allow keys with different ID codes close
to the ignition switch. If the ignition key is in a
key holder, remove it from the holder before
carrying out diagnosis.
•When repeatedly turning the ignition switch
to ON or OFF while diagnostic items are being
checked, it should be switched in cycles of
“ON” for at least 5 seconds → “O F F ” fo r a t le a s t
8 seconds.
•If the engine fails to start with a registered ig-
nition key, detach the ignition key from ignition
switch and wait for approx. 1 second until secu-
rity indicator light begins to flash. And then
start the engine again.
•Before checking the diagnostic items, obtain
all keys for the vehicle to be checked pos-
sessed by owner.
•Do not install or register a body integrated
unit of another registered vehicle to diagnose
failures or inspect functions.
