Solar Ventilation ECU Power Source Circuit: Procedure
- INSPECT MOON ROOF GLASS ASSEMBLY (SOLAR PANEL)
- Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes in a location where the following conditions are met, and then measure the voltage.SYSTEM OPERATION CONDITIONS REFERENCE TABLE
Items Condition Amount of sunlight A sufficient amount of sunlight is received by the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel).
(The amount of sunlight on a cloudless day between 11:00 and 14:00 is typically sufficient for operation.)Moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) status The moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) is not in the shade No fallen leaves or dirt is present on the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) Ambient temperature 20 to 40°C (68 to 104°F) NOTE:To ensure stable generation of voltage by the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel), make sure to park the vehicle in a location where the system operation conditions reference table are satisfied.
- Disconnect the solar ventilation ECU connector.
WARNING:
The moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) generates electricity when exposed to a light source such as sunlight. If an inspection of the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) is performed while electricity is being generated, work carefully in order to prevent an accidental short circuit or electric shock.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition L22-11 (SBI) - L22-1 (GND) System operation conditions reference table are met. 12 V or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Solar Ventilation ECU)
NG → See step 3
OK: Go to next step
- Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes in a location where the following conditions are met, and then measure the voltage.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Reconnect the solar ventilation ECU connector.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List.
- Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.
- Check that the Solar Voltage value in the Data List is 10 V or higher.AIR CONDITIONER

HINT:
If the Data List items are not displayed, inspect the communication circuit between the solar ventilation ECU and A/C amplifier. Refer to Communication Circuit between Solar Ventilation ECU and A/C Amplifier .
- Check that the Solar Voltage value in the Data List is 10 V or higher.
NG → See step 5
OK → See step 4
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SOLAR VENTILATION ECU - SOLAR PANEL, BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the solar ventilation ECU connector.
- Disconnect the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition L22-11 (SBI) - R15-1 (+B) Always Below 1 Ω L22-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω L22-11 (SBI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
