Circuit/System Description

The ambient light/sunload sensor includes the sunload sensor and passenger compartment temperature sensor.

This sensor assembly provides information about:

* Sun heat intensity

* Elevation

* Azimuth

* Passenger compartment temperature

The sunload sensor is connected to ground and to a 12 V clocked power supply through the HVAC control module. This clocked power supply is to

power the sensor electronics and to work as a clock generator to the sunload sensor micro controller. The sensor uses a pulse signal for data

identification and transferring the sun intensity measurement. At each positive transition from the clocked supply input, the sunload sensor micro

controller will shift channels enabling new intensity measurement on the signal output to the HVAC control module. The signal voltage varies

between 0-4 V.

The passenger compartment temperature sensor is a negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. A signal and low reference circuit enables the

sensor to operate. As the air temperature increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor signal varies between 0-5 V.

Bright or high intensity light causes the vehicles interior temperature to increase. The HVAC system compensates for the increased temperature by

diverting additional cool air into the vehicle.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition ON.

* The HVAC control module is ON.
