Sun Sensor - Description

DESCRIPTION






NOTE: Typical sun sensor assembly shown.

The automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system uses a sun sensor assembly (1) to measure sun light intensity. Three variants of the sun sensor are used, depending on how the vehicle is equipped. A twilight sensor (optional with three zone manual controls for automatic headlamps), left and right sun sensor for ATC heating-A/C system (2), and a combination twilight and sun sensor for ATC with automatic head lamps. The sun sensor assembly is mounted to the instrument panel and has a clear lens (3) that protrudes through the defroster grille. The wire harness receptacle (4) connects the sun sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
