DTC |
B14A2 |
Driver Side Solar Sensor Short Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The cooler (solar sensor) thermistor is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel. It detects sunlight to control air conditioning control in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor varies in accordance with the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight decreases, the output voltage decreases. The air conditioning amplifier assembly detects changes in the output voltage from the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
