Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Solar Sensor Circuit (Driver Side) (B1424/24)

Toyota Tundra Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Automatic Air Conditioning System) / Solar Sensor Circuit (Driver Side) (B1424/24)

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 current from the solar sensor varies according to the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output current increases. As the sunlight decreases, the output current decreases. The air conditioning amplifier detects output current from the solar sensor.
