Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the solar radiation sensor receives a ground through circuit GD116 (BK/VT). A 5-volt reference voltage is supplied to the solar radiation sensor from the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) or dual automatic temperature control (DATC) module through circuit (LH) VH416 (VT/GY) and circuit (RH) VH417 (YE/OG).

Possible Causes
- An open in circuit GD116 (BK/VT), VH417 (YE/OG) or VH416 (VT/GY)
- A short to ground in circuit VH417 (YE/OG) or VH416 (VT/GY)
- Solar radiation sensor
- DATC/EATC module
