| Description |
| 1. |
The photo sensor is located at the center of defrost nozzle. |
| 2. |
The photo sensor contains a photovoltaic (sensitive to
sunlight) diode. The solar radiation received by its light receiving
portion, generates an electromotive force in proportion to the amount of
radiation received which is transferred to the automatic temperature
control module so that the solar radiation compensation will be
performed. |
Inspection 1. Ignition "OFF". 2. Disconnect evaporator temperature sensor. 3. Using the multi-tester, Measure resistance between terminal "1" and "2" of evaporator temperature sensor.
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.
Removal 1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. 2. Remove the passenger compartment junction box cover. 3. Remove the driver side cover (A). 4. Remove the crash pad side switch assembly (A) by pushing it through side cover hole.
Inspection 1. Ignition "OFF" 2. Disconnect ambient temperature sensor. 3. Check the resistance of ambient temperature sensor between terminals 1 and 2 whether it is changed by changing of the ambient temperature. 1. Sensor Ground2.
