Sun Sensor - Description






DESCRIPTION






NOTE: Typical sun sensor assembly shown.

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