NOTE:
Typical sun sensor assembly shown in illustration.
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system uses a sun sensor assembly (1) to measure sun light intensity. The sun sensor assembly incorporates three sun sensors within a molded plastic case with a clear lens (2), that protrudes through the center of the defroster grille. The wire harness receptacle (3) connects the sun sensors to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
