Solar Sensor: Testing and Inspection

The sun sensor is located so the sun hits the sensor in the same way that it hits the driver and the passenger. It is important that the area in front of the sensor be unobstructed. Check that the following items are not in the way of the sun sensor.
- Windshield wipers that are adjusted too high.
- Stickers on the windshield that are directly in front of the sensor.
- Top cover which is not properly installed. The sun sensor should be 1/4 inch. above the top cover.
- Caps or papers which might cover the sensor.
