Sun Load Sensor Circuit Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Sunload Sensor.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool Sunload Sensor parameter is greater than 4.9 volts or 250 counts.
- If less than the specified range test the appropriate signal circuit terminal A or B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- Install a 3 -amp fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit terminal A or B and the ground circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool Sunload Sensor parameter is less than the 0.1 volt or 5 counts.
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunload sensor.
