1. Disconnect the negative battery cable..
2. Spread open the rain sensor cover in the direction of the arrows (1) and disengage tabs A to remove it.
3. Disconnect the rain sensor connector in the direction of the arrow (2).
4. Slide rain sensor tabs B in the direction of the arrow (3) shown in the figure, detach the engagement, and pull tab B in the direction of the arrow (4).
5. Remove the rain sensor in the direction of the arrow (5) shown in the figure.
6. Peel off the rain sensor protective sheet from the rain sensor.
7. Install in the reverse order of removal..
8. Perform headlight auto light setting..
CAUTION:
If the rain sensor is replaced, the auto light system may not operate normally because the auto light sensitivity setting is initialized. If the rain sensor is replaced, perform the auto light sensitivity setting.
If the auto light sensitivity setting before replacing the rain sensor was "Medium", and the following sensitivity setting procedure is not performed, the sensor will be unable to detect the illumination level correctly and the auto light system will not operate normally. If the rain sensor is replaced, perform the following sensitivity setting procedure.
Except for "Medium" sensitivity setting.
Re-setting to "Medium".
Rain Sensor Installation Note
CAUTION:
If the rate at which the rain sensor reflects or transmits infrared light between the rain sensor and the windshield, or through the protective sheet is changed, the rain sensor will determine that there is a malfunction in the rain detection function and stop auto wiper system control. Be careful of the following when installing the rain sensor:
Do not reuse the rain sensor protective sheet
Do not touch the rain sensor lens, rain sensor protective sheet, and sensor installation area on windshield with your fingers
Verify that there is no air bubble after installing the rain sensor
1. Wipe off any oil or dirt from the rain sensor lens and the windshield using a clean rag.
