Sun Sensor Location

When they fail when not if the automatic headlights stay on all the time putting more strain on a fragile lcm lighting control module.

Sun sensor location.

Disconnect sunload sensor connector. The sun load sensor is what controls the automatic headlights in the ford crownvictoria mercury grand marquis and many other ford products. The bison64 et is a fine sun sensor for high reliable satellites applications and qualified within esa development activities. Field tests of the sun finder sensors.

View voltage readings in a capable scan tool datastream. These degrade over time sitting in the direct sun all the time. Sun load sensor test. Genuine subaru part 73730sa001 73730sa000.

Sun load temperature sensor. The operating range is between 0 and 5 volts. However the main advantage of pinhole sensor is to work on two axes while the slit sensor is a sun pointing system working only in one direction. Analog sensor whose output signal is a continuous function of sun angle.

It s on the dash usually close to the headlight sensor. Sun sensors are usually classified into three types. When performing the diagnosis indoors light the sunload sensor with a lamp 60w or more. As sunlight increases the sensor s signal voltage decreases.

Sunload sensor may register a malfunction when indoors at dusk or at other times when light is insufficient. Turn ignition switch on. Sun presence sensor which provides a constant output signal. Most sunload sensors are the photodiode type which provides increased resistance as the light intensity increases so the signal from the sensor drops as the sun shines brighter.

The sun sensor is designed for missions with demanding lifetime radiation thermal and mechanical requirements and can be used in leo meo geo and beyond. When checking sunload sensor select a place where sun shines directly on it. The sun tracking sensors were experimented in operative conditions with direct exposition to the sun. As the sun load increases the voltage decreases.

If the sun load sensor fails a fault code sets and the program enters a default value and tries to achieve the desired temperature setting.
