NOTICE:
* The connection procedure for using a digital tester such as a TOYOTA electrical tester is shown above. When using an analog tester, connect the positive (+) lead to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2 of the solar sensor.
* While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.

HINT
* Use an incandescent light for inspection. Bring it within about 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the solar sensor.
* As the inspection light is moved away from the sensor, the voltage decreases.

If the voltage is not as specified, replace the solar sensor.
