Sunlight Sensor Test

Sunlight Sensor Test

1. Remove the sunlight sensor from the dashboard.
2. Connect the sunlight sensor 2P connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Measure the voltage between the terminals with the (+) probe on the No. 2 terminal and the (-) probe on the No.1 terminal with the connector connected.

NOTE: The voltage readings will not change under the light of a flashlight or a fluorescent lamp.

Voltage should be:
- 3.6 - 3.7 V or more with the sensor out of direct sunlight.
- 3.3 - 3.5 V or less with the sensor in direct sunlight.






4. If the voltage is not as specified, replace the sunlight sensor.
