SOLAR SENSOR INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
INSPECT COOLER (SOLAR SENSOR) THERMISTOR (for Single Type)
Check the wire harness
Disconnect the E28 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Disconnect the F4 cooler (solar sensor) thermistor connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance

Specified Condition
F4-1 (SS+) - E28-30 (S5-1)
Always
Below 1 Ω
F4-2 (SS-) - E28-33 (TSD)
Always
Below 1 Ω
F4-1 (SS+) - Body ground
Always
10 kΩ or higher
F4-2 (SS-) - Body ground
Always
10 kΩ or higher
If the resistance is not as specified, repair the wire harness.
Reconnect the E28 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

4.75 to 5.25 V
If the voltage is not as specified, replace the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
Check the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
Reconnect the connector to the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Condition
Specified Condition
F4-1 (SS+) - F4-2 (SS-)
Sensor is subjected to electric light
0.8 to 4.3 V
F4-1 (SS+) - F4-2 (SS-)
Sensor is covered with a cloth
Below 0.8 V
Note:The connection procedure for using a digital tester such as a TOYOTA electrical tester is shown above. When using an analog tester, connect the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 and the positive (+) lead to terminal 2 of the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
Do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
Tip:Use an incandescent light for inspection. Bring it within about 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
As the inspection light is moved away from the sensor, the voltage decreases.
Check from the rear of the connector while it is connected to the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
If the voltage is not as specified, replace the cooler (solar sensor) thermistor.
