Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Optical sensor

Description

The optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to the BCM.

Component Function Check

1.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL BY CONSULT

CONSULT

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
  2. Select "OPTICAL SENSOR" of BCM (HEAD LAMP) DATA MONITOR item.
  3. Turn the lighting switch to AUTO.
  4. While the auto light system is operating, check the monitor status.
