Removal and installation of the sensor of solar illumination

            0



The solar light sensor and the interior air temperature sensor are combined into a common housing A, located on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield glass. Depending on the degree of illumination of the passenger compartment by the sun's rays, according to the signals of the sensor, air flows are directed respectively to the area of \u200b\u200bthe face or legs of the driver and front passenger. This ensures the most efficient mode of operation of the climate control system and a more comfortable distribution of air flows in the cabin.

To exclude incorrect readings of temperature values due to the influence of heated elements of the panel, the temperature sensor is equipped with a forced airflow system. The system provides an even flow of air from the front of the vehicle through the sensor housing. For normal air movement, keep the inlet of the integral sensor housing free of any solid particles or liquids. This is especially true in cases of dry cleaning of the interior. When cleaning the interior with a vacuum cleaner, it is strictly forbidden to bring the suction tip of the vacuum cleaner pipe to the inlet of the housing. If the passage of air through the sensor hole is difficult, the normal functioning of the automatic climate control system is disrupted.


1. Disconnect a wire from the minus plug of the storage battery.



2. Pry with a screwdriver..



3... and, overcoming the force of the elastic holders, remove the grille of the upper deflector from the hole in the panel.



4. Wring out a clamp and disconnect a block of a plait of wires from the gauge case.




5. Squeeze the two latches on the sensor body and remove it from the mounting hole in the upper deflector grille.



6. Install the sensor in the reverse order of removal.
