OPTICAL SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005147724
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The optical sensor (1) is located in the center of the 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 A/C auto amp.
OPTICAL INPUT PROCESS
The A/C auto amp. includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in detected sunload over a
period of time. This prevents adjustments 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 optical sensor will vary whenever the tr ees 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 t he 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.
Optical Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147725
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to HAC-91, "Wiring Diagram".
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR OPTICAL SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Optical sensor circuit is open or shorted. Using the

SULT-III, code 50 or 52 is indicated on A/C auto amp. as a result of
conducting self-diagnosis.
