B1421

DTC B1421/21 Solar Sensor Circuit (Passenger Side)

DESCRIPTION




DTC Detection Condition:




The A/C solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument panel, detects sunlight and controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the A/C solar sensor varies according to the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage increases. As the sunlight decreases, the output voltage decreases. The A/C amplifier detects voltage output from the A/C solar sensor.
