- Connect Saab ISAT Scan Tester to data link connector and obtain solar sensor readout. Value should vary between 0-0.155 volt, depending on light intensity. Illuminate solar sensor with an incandescent bulb and check that voltage increases.
- Disconnect solar sensor connector and measure voltage at the connector. Voltage should be 4.5-5.0 volts. If voltage is correct, go to next step. If voltage is incorrect, go to step 4).
- Illuminate solar sensor with an incandescent bulb and measure voltage across sensor terminals. Voltage should be 0-0.5 volt. If voltage is correct, go to next step. If voltage is incorrect, replace sensor. Clear DTC and ensure fault has been corrected.
- Disconnect A/C-heater control panel connector. Attach breakout box to A/C-heater control panel wiring harness connector. Check wiring harness for continuity between sensor connector pin No. 4 (Yellow/Green wire) and pin No. 35 at breakout box.
- Check wiring harness for continuity between sensor connector pin No. 3 (Brown/Red wire) and pin No. 34 at breakout box. If wiring harness continuity is not okay, repair open circuit(s). If wiring harness continuity is okay and fault persists, replace A/C-heater control panel.
