OPTICAL SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000009175383

The optical sensor measures ambient light and transmits the optical sensor signal to the BCM.

Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000009175384

1.

CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL TO BCM

CONSULT 

1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

2. Select OPTI SEN (DTCT) of BCM (HEAD LAMP) DATA MONITOR item.

3. Turn the lighting switch to AUTO.

*:Outside light varies. The value may be less than the standard value if brightness is weak.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> Optical sensor is normal.

NO

>> Refer to 

EXL-124, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.
