    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  2.

    NG: GO TO  4.

  2. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP  .
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
    3. Check continuity between sunload sensor harness connector M65 terminal 2 and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector M89 terminal 49.

    OK: GO TO  3.

    NG: Repair harness or connector.

  3. CHECK SUNLOAD SENSOR 

    Refer to "SUNLOAD SENSOR ".

    OK or NG 

    OK:

    1. Replace unified meter and A/C amp. Refer to "UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP ".
    2. Go to "FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE " and perform self-diagnosis STEP-2. Confirm that code No. 20 is displayed.

    NG:

    1. Replace sunload sensor. Refer to "SUNLOAD SENSOR ".
    2. Go to "FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE " and perform self-diagnosis STEP-2. Confirm that code No. 20 is displayed.
  4. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN SUNLOAD SENSOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP  .
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
    3. Check continuity between sunload sensor harness connector M65 terminal 1 and display and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector M89 terminal 50.

      1 - 50: Continuity should exist  .

    4. Check continuity between sunload sensor harness connector M65 terminal 1 and ground.

      1 - Ground: Continuity should not exist  .
