RM36D0EC _59 Vehicle Exterior _083096 LIGHTING (EXT) _0402622 LIGHTING SYSTEM C

LIGHTING (EXT)  LIGHTING SYSTEM  B124400  Light Sensor Circuit Malfunction  


DESCRIPTION

The automatic light control sensor detects ambient light. The sensor creates an electrical signal based on the amount of light detected, and sends the signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) turns on or off the headlights and taillights according to the signal.

3.READ VALUE USING GTS
3.READ VALUE USING GTS
a.

According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List and check that the value of Light Sensor Illuminance changes while performing the following:

i.

Cover the automatic light control sensor with an opaque object.


ii.

Slowly move the opaque object to uncover and then cover the automatic light control sensor.

Body Electrical > Main Body > Data List
Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
Light Sensor Illuminance Light control sensor illuminance 0 to 8191 lx or SensorFail Value is output according to ambient light level The displayed value is "0" when no light is detected.
Body Electrical > Main Body > Data List
