Diagnosis Procedure

OPTICAL SENSOR


Description

The optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to the BCM.

Diagnosis Procedure

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to Dummy cross-reference("XX-XX") (coupe) or Dummy cross-reference("XX-XX") (sedan).
1.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR POWER SUPPLY INPUT
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Turn the lighting switch to AUTO.





3. Check the voltage between the optical sensor harness connector and ground.





Is the voltage reading as specified?
YES - GO TO 2
NO - GO TO 4
2.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR GROUND INPUT





Check the voltage between the optical sensor harness connector and ground.





Is the voltage reading as specified?
YES - GO TO 3
NO - GO TO 6
3.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL OUTPUT





With the optical sensor illuminating, check voltage between the optical sensor harness connector and ground.





Is the voltage reading as specified?
YES - GO TO 7
NO - Replace the optical sensor.
4.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR POWER SUPPLY FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the optical sensor connector and BCM connector.





3. Check continuity between the optical sensor harness connector and the BCM harness connector.





Does continuity exist?
YES - GO TO 5
NO - Repair the harnesses or connectors.
5.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR POWER SUPPLY FOR SHORT CIRCUIT





Check the continuity between the optical sensor harness connector and the ground.





Does continuity exist?
YES - Repair the harnesses or connectors.
NO - Replace BCM. Refer to BCM .
6.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR GROUND FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the optical sensor connector and BCM connector.





3. Check continuity between the optical sensor harness connector and the BCM harness connector.





Does continuity exist?
YES - Replace BCM. Refer to BCM .
NO - Repair the harnesses or connectors.
7.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the optical sensor connector and BCM connector.





3. Check continuity between the optical sensor harness connector and the BCM harness connector.





Does continuity exist?
YES - GO TO 8
NO - Repair the harnesses or connectors.
8.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL FOR SHORT CIRCUIT





Check the continuity between the optical sensor harness connector and ground.





Does continuity exist?
YES - Repair the harnesses or connectors.
NO - Replace BCM. Refer to BCM.
