Sunload Sensor CircuitNJS000H2
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor is located on the driver’s side front defroster
grille. It detects sunload entering through windshield by means of a
photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current 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 processing 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 trees 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 the ATC system operation. On the other hand, shortly
after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize the change in sunload, and the system will react accord-
ingly.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR SUNLOAD SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Sunload sensor circuit is open or shorted. (25 or 25 is
indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect sunload sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between sunload sensor harness connector M87
terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.

indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M82
terminal 1 and ground.

Removal and InstallationNJS000H9
REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe 1 and high-pressure pipe 2. Refer to ATC-162, "Removal and Installation of
Low-Pressure Pipe 1 and High-Pressure Pipe 2" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
2. Slide evaporator to passenger side, and then remove intake
sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Replace O-rings of A/C piping with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing
it.
Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sen-
sor can be located in the same position.
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
