Ambient Sensor: Inspection

Preparation tool: 

Circuit tester 

1. Visually check the ambient sensor for dirt or damage, and clean or replace as necessary.
2. Check the resistance between ambient sensor terminals.
   CAUTION: During inspection, be careful not to touch the sensor end in order to avoid misjudgment due to body temperature.
