Sun Sensor - Description






DESCRIPTION

NOTE: Typical sun sensor assembly shown.





The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heating-A/C system uses a sun sensor (1) to measure sun light intensity. The sun sensor incorporates two sun load sensors (2) within a molded plastic case which is mounted to the instrument panel and a clear lens (3) that protrudes through the defroster grille. The wire harness receptacle (4) connects the sun sensor to the vehicle electrical system.
