Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition EFL182 sun load temperature sensor is built for vehicles that use ambient sunlight input to help the HVAC system adjust cabin temperature control. This sensor is commonly used on applications such as the Toyota Prius, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Sequoia, Lexus LS430, Lexus LX470, Lexus LS460, Lexus LS600h, and Toyota Corolla. If you are replacing a failed sun load sensor on a Toyota or Lexus climate control system, EFL182 provides the correct connector style and push-in mounting format for the listed applications. This part cross-references 8862547031 and FC782 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Inaccurate automatic climate control response
• HVAC system not adjusting properly to sunlight load
• Faulty sun sensor signal to the control module
• Replacement needs for a damaged or worn original sensor
• Restoring proper operation on Toyota Prius, Highlander, and Lexus LS models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and mounting style before installation. The EFL182 uses a push-in attachment method with one plug-in connector and male blade terminals, so the replacement should match the original sensor configuration. Confirm vehicle fitment by year and model before ordering, especially on Toyota Prius 2001-2009, Toyota Highlander 2001-2007, Toyota Land Cruiser 1998-2007, Toyota Sequoia 2001-2007, Lexus LS430 2001-2006, Lexus LX470 1998-2007, Lexus LS460 2007-2010, Lexus LS600h 2008-2010, and Toyota Corolla 2009-2010.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for a wide range of import applications, and this sensor is built to match the listed OE-style fitment and connector requirements for the specified Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
