Ambient Sensor: Inspection

  1. Visually check the ambient sensor for dirt or damage, and clean or replace as necessary.
  2. Measure the resistance between connector terminals.
    CAUTION:

    During inspection, be careful not to touch the sensor end in order to avoid misjudgement due to body temperature.
