INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (SOLAR SENSOR)

(a) Connect the positive (+) lead of the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3, and then measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 (TSL) - 3 (CLTE)	Sensor subjected to electric light	0.5 to 3.0 V
1 (TSL) - 3 (CLTE)	Sensor covered with cloth	0.5 V or less
2 (TSR) - 3 (CLTE)	Sensor subjected to electric light	0.5 to 3.0 V
2 (TSR) - 3 (CLTE)	Sensor covered with cloth	0.8 V or less

HINT:

As the inspection light is moved away from the sensor, the voltage increases.
Use an incandescent light for inspection. Bring it within 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the automatic light control sensor.

NOTICE:

The connection procedure for using a digital tester, such as a TOYOTA electrical tester, is shown above.

If the result is not as specified, replace the automatic light control sensor.
