HVAC SYSTEM CODE 25 ON G50

[i-Zer0]

I have run a self-test diagnostics on the climate control system and am getting a code '25' with the '5' flashing. I am wondering if anyone knows what this is that's needing to be replaced. I thought it was the sunload sensor but could be wrong. I don't have access to the tech manual.**thx**

Your right, it is the sunload sensor.....

That's what I thought...Went to the wrecking yard and got one off of a parting-out G50 there for $5. No loss obviously. But how do you test one of these suckers. Is putting an ohmmeter on the leads and exposing it to sunlight sufficient enough? Scottsdale wants $40 for a new one. If the wrecking yard one is indeed any good, how is the system code cleared or how is one to reset it?

Where you in direct sunlight when you tested it?

I haven't done it yet - I am just speculating right now before I do anything further- I just figured someone has been thru this already

if its not in direct sunlight it will throw a code.
