* The system will operate as if no sunload condition exists.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will become history if the HVAC control module no longer detects the condition that set the DTC.

* The history DTC will clear after 100 fault-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the appropriate scan tool Sunload Sensor parameter. The reading should be between 5 and 250 counts and change with

sunlight intensity.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: If a solar load sensor has an out of range condition caused by a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance,

the scan tool will display the same value: 225 counts.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunload sensor.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the ground circuit terminal C and the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below:

* Left solar load sensor circuit terminal A.

* Right solar load sensor circuit terminal B.

瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the

HVAC control module.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control

module.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunload sensor.

Repair Instructions
