Ambient Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNBHA0039The ambient sensor is attached in front of the driver's side con-
denser. It detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resis-
tance value which is then input into the auto amplifier.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESSNBHA0040The automatic amplifier includes a ªprocessing circuitº for the ambi-
ent sensor input. However, when the temperature detected by the
ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the
auto amp. function. It only allows the auto amp. to recognize an
ambient temperature increase of 0.33ÉC (0.6ÉF) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a cup of coffee 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 compartment
can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.

3 CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR
Refer to HA-131.
OK or NG
OK©1. Replace auto amp. (LCU).
2. Go to self-diagnosis step-by-step procedure (HA-45) and perform self-diagnosis STEP
2.
Confirm that code No. 20 is displayed.
NG©Replace ambient sensor.
4 CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR CIRCUIT BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND AUTO AMP. (LCU)
1. Disconnect auto amp. (LCU) harness connector.
2. Check circuit continuity between ambient sensor harness terminal No. 1 and auto amp. (LCU) harness terminal No. 2.
RHA830H
Continuity should exist.
If OK, check harness for short.
OK or NG
OK©1. Replace auto amp. (LCU).
2. Go to self-diagnosis step-by-step procedure (HA-45) and perform self-diagnosis STEP
2.
Confirm that code No. 20 is displayed.
NG©Repair harness or connector.
