      Component without wire harness connected

      (Automatic Light Control Sensor (Solar Sensor))

      Connect the battery's positive (+) lead 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 4.0 to 4.6 V
      1 (TSL) - 3 (CLTE) Sensor covered with a cloth 0.8 V or less
      2 (TSR) - 3 (CLTE) Sensor subjected to electric light 4.0 to 4.6 V
      2 (TSR) - 3 (CLTE) Sensor covered with a cloth 0.8 V or less

      Note

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

      Tech Tips


      • As the inspection light is moved away from the sensor, the voltage increases.

      • Use an incandescent lamp for inspection. Bring it within 30 cm (11.8 in.) of the automatic light control sensor (solar sensor).

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