DESCRIPTION
The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument
panel, detects sunlight and
controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the solar
sensor varies according to
the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage
increases. As the sunlight
decreases, the output voltage decreases. The A/C amplifier detects output
voltage from the solar sensor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
1 READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the intelligent tester main switch on.
(c) Expose the sensing portion of the solar sensor to light.
HINT: Use an incandescent light for inspection.
(d) Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the display on the intelligent tester.
DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER:
OK: The display is as specified in the normal condition column.
Result
2 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOLAR SENSOR)
(a) Disconnect the solar sensor connector.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOLAR SENSOR - BODY ECU)
(a) Disconnect the body ECU connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
REPLACE BODY ECU
4 CHECK SOLAR SENSOR
(a) Remove the solar sensor with its connector still connected.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 (CLTB), and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3 (CLTE) of the solar sensor.
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
NOTICE: While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
HINT:
5 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOLAR SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)
(a) Disconnect the solar sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER
Comfort Access
Concept
The vehicle can be accessed without operating
the vehicle key.
Carrying the vehicle key with you, e.g., in your
pants pocket, is sufficient.
The vehicle automatically detects the vehicle key
when it is in close proximity or in the car's interior.

AVC-LAN Circuit
DESCRIPTION
Each unit of the navigation system connected to the AVC-LAN (communication
bus) transfers the signal of
each switch by communication.
When a short to +B or short to ground occurs in this AVC-LAN, the navigation
system will not function
normally as the communication is discontin ...
On-vehicle inspection
1. INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB BEARING BACKLASH
(a) Using a dial gauge, check for backlash near the
center of the axle hub.
Maximum:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If backlash exceeds the maximum, replace the
bearing.
NOTICE:
Ensure that the dial gauge is set at right angles
to the measurement surface ...
