| Inspection |
| 1. |
Ignition "ON" |
| 2. |
Using the scan tool. |
| 3. |
Emit intensive light toward photo sensor using a lamp, and check the output voltage change. |
| 4. |
The voltage will rise with higher intensive light and reduce with lower intensive light.
|
| Replacement |
| 1. |
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
| 2. |
With the (-) driver, remove the photo sensor (A) from the center of defrost nozzle.
|
| 3. |
Install in the reverse order of removal. |
Description 1. The photo sensor is located at the center of defrost nozzle. 2. The photo sensor contains a photovoltaic (sensitive to sunlight) diode.
Description 1. The ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the condenser and detects ambient air temperature. It is a negative type thermistor resistance will increase with lower temperature, and decrease with higher temperatures.
Removal 1. If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few minutes, then shut the engine off. 2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 3. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station.
Replacement 1. Disconnect the damper (B) from the glove box (A) and then remove the glove box lift (C). 2. Remove the filter cover (A) with pushing the knob. 3. Replace the air filter (B), install it after making sure of the direction of air filter.
