Diagnosis Procedure

Use the circuit diagram as a guide to perform the following procedures:
a. Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
b. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
c. Disconnect the HVAC control panel assembly connector K-012 and sun sensor connector I-021.
d. Disconnect the A/C wire harness connector K-007 and instrument panel wire harness connector I-039.
e. Check if wire harnesses are worn, pierced, pinched or partially broken.
f. Look for broken, bent, protruded or corroded terminals.
g. Check if related connector pins are in good condition.

a. Remove the sun sensor.
b. Install the new sun sensor to vehicle.
c. Use X-431 3G diagnostic tester to check if DTCs are still output.
