Conditions for Setting the DTC
This code will set if the output of the sun sensor indicates a probable short circuit or an open in the sensor or the associated wiring harness, or a malfunction of the automatic temperature control (ATC) controller.
DTC 5
| Step |

Value(s) |
Yes |
No |
| 1 |
- Lift the sun sensor from the top of the dash panel.
- Secure the ATC harness below the sun sensor connector so it cannot fall through the opening in the top of the dash panel.
- Disconnect the sun sensor connector from the automatic temperature control (ATC) harness.
- Inspect the wiring from the sensor to the connector, and examine the connector for any signs of damage.
- Measure the resistance between the sun sensor connector terminals.
Is there any sign of damage in the wiring or connector or does the resistance measured equal the value specified? |
0 Ω |

Go to Step 3 |
| 2 |
Repair the damaged wiring or the connector, or replace the sun sensor as required. Did you find and correct the condition? |
- |
System OK |
- |
| 3 |
- Turn the ignition to ON.
- Measure the voltage between the 2 sun sensor connector terminals on the ATC harness.
Is the voltage measured less than or equal to the specified value? |
4 V |
Go to Step 7 |
Go to Step 4 |
| 4 |
Inspect the terminals on the sun sensor connector. Is any problem found with the connector? |

Go to Step 9 |
System OK |
| 7 |
- Pull the ATC controller from the instrument panel, leaving the wiring harness connected.
- Measure the voltage between terminals A13 and B10 by backprobing the connectors.
Is the voltage measured less than or equal to the specified value? |
4 V |
Go to Step 9 |
Go to Step 8 |
| 8 |
- Test the wiring from controller terminals A13 and B10 to the sun sensor connector terminals on the ATC harness connectors.
- Repair any open or high resistance found in the wiring or connector terminals.
Did you find and correct the condition? |
