Ambient Sensor: Inspection
- Visually check the ambient sensor for dirt or damage, and clean or replace as necessary.
- Measure the resistance between connector terminals.CAUTION: During inspection, be careful not to touch the sensor end in order to avoid misjudgment due to body temperature.
Preparation tool:
Circuit tester
