Lighting Control Sensor Check




LIGHTING CONTROL SENSOR (LIGHT SENSOR) CHECK

Using the scan tool MB991958, check the LIN data list as follows.

1. Under the direct sunlight, turn the ignition switch to the ON position and the lighting switch to the AUTO position.

2. When the lighting control sensor receiver is covered by hand, and if the item No. 7009 (RLS Low beam "ON" request) and the item No. 7011 (RLS Taillight "ON" request) turn from OFF to ON, it is judged normal.

NOTE:

- Before inspection using the scan tool MB991958, wipe off the windshield clearly. Then check that there is no abnormality on the windshield surface where the lighting control sensor is mounted.
- When covering the lighting control sensor receiver, be careful not to touch the windshield surface (where the lighting control sensor receiver is mounted). (The lighting control sensor receiver has limited resistance to oil.)
