Sunlight Sensor

The sunlight sensor consists of two photoelectric cells that provide the ATC module with inputs of light intensity, one as sensed coming from the left of the vehicle and one as sensed coming from the right. The inputs are a measure of the solar heating effect on vehicle occupants, and are used by the ATC module to adjust blower speed, temperature and distribution to improve comfort. The sensor is installed in the center of the fascia upper surface and is powered by a 5V feed from the ATC module.
