  1. INSPECT AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (SOLAR SENSOR)

    A0158IJE48

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

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

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

      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 A/C solar sensor.
