Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
If a solar load sensor has an out of range condition caused by a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance, the scan tool will display the same value: 225 counts.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunload sensor.
- Test for less than 10 ohms 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, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the ground circuit terminal C and the appropriate signal circuit terminal.
- Left solar load sensor circuit terminal A.
- Right solar load sensor circuit terminal B.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunload sensor.
