Help your automatic climate control read the cabin's solar heat load accurately with the Standard Ignition Sun Load Temperature Sensor EFL182. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a range of Lexus and Toyota models, including the 2001-2006 Lexus LS430, 2007-2010 Lexus LS460, 2008-2010 Lexus LS600H, 1998-2007 Lexus LX470, 2009-2010 Toyota Corolla, 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander, 1998-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2001-2009 Toyota Prius, and 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia (engine: All) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

A sun load sensor detects the intensity of sunlight entering the cabin and signals the automatic climate control system to compensate for that added heat. If a failed sun load sensor is the reason your climate control isn't adjusting for direct sunlight, this unit replaces it.

  • High-temperature housing: a durable housing designed to withstand harsh conditions.
  • Direct-fit replacement: restores proper function, allowing electrical current to flow across the contact points.
  • Quick-connect terminals: two male blade terminals with a push-in, plug-in connector for easy installation.
  • Mounting brackets: not included.
