Temperature Sun Load Light Sensor for Nissan
This temperature sun load light sensor is designed for Nissan vehicles, providing accurate cabin temperature and sunlight intensity readings to control automatic climate systems. It replaces worn or faulty sensors in compatible models, ensuring your HVAC system responds correctly to heat and sun conditions. This sensor works with the original mounting location for a direct fit.
Overview
This temperature sun load light sensor for Nissan monitors both ambient cabin temperature and incoming sunlight, sending data to the automatic climate control module to adjust fan speed and cooling output. It is a direct replacement part for vehicles that use a combined sensor unit on the dashboard or near the windshield. The sensor is built to match the precise electrical characteristics of your Nissan system.

- Combined temperature and sun load sensing in a single module
- Plug-and-play electrical connector for direct installation without wiring modifications
- Responds to varying sunlight angles and heat intensity for real-time climate adjustments
- Rugged construction for repeated exposure to cabin heat and UV radiation
Fits These Machines
- for Nissan Altima
- for Nissan 370Z
- for Nissan GT-R
- for Nissan Murano
- for Nissan Pathfinder
On-The-Job Use
- Restores accurate cabin temperature sensing for automatic climate control in daily driving
- Improves cooling performance on sunny days by detecting sun load and increasing air conditioning output
- Replaces a failed sensor that causes uneven temperature regulation or stuck fan speeds

Good To Know
Q: Where is this sensor normally located? A: It is typically mounted on the top of the dashboard near the windshield or in the center defroster grille area, where it can capture both cabin air temperature and direct sunlight.
Q: Will this sensor work if my climate control shows a fault code? A: If the original sensor has failed, replacing it with this unit often resolves the fault code and restores normal cabin temperature regulation, but a full diagnostic scan is recommended after installation.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
