INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SOLAR SENSOR (AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR)



(a) Remove the solar sensor with the connector still connected.

(b) Apply battery voltage between terminals 6 (CLTB) and 3 (CLTE) of the A/C solar sensor.

(c) Measure the voltage 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

0.8 to 4.3 V

1 (TSL) - 3 (CLTE)

Sensor covered with a cloth

Below 0.8 V

2 (TSR) - 3 (CLTE)

Sensor subject to electric light

0.8 to 4.3 V

2 (TSR) - 3 (CLTE)

Sensor covered with a cloth

Below 0.8 V

If the result is not as specified, replace the solar sensor.

HINT:

  • 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 solar sensor.
