id091900800500

Caution

•  Do not switch the ignition ON until all connectors are connected.

With Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) Or Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

2.  Remove the sensor cover. (See SENSOR COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3.  Disconnect the rain sensor connector in the direction of the arrow (1).

7.  Install in the reverse order of removal. (See Rain Sensor Installation Note.)

8.  If the rain sensor is replaced, perform the following sensitivity setting procedure for the auto lights.

(1)  Using the M-MDS, verify the current auto light sensitivity setting. (See CONTROL SYSTEM PERSONALIZATION FEATURES SETTING PROCEDURE.)

(2)  Change the sensitivity setting to a value other than the sensitivity setting verified in Step (1).

(3)  Re-set to the auto light sensitivity setting verified in Step (1).

Caution

•  If the auto light sensitivity setting is not performed after replacing the rain sensor (auto light sensor), the rain sensor will be unable to detect the correct illumination level and the auto light/wiper system will not operate normally. If the rain sensor is replaced, perform the auto light sensitivity setting.

Without FSC Or SCBS

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

2.  Open the rain sensor cover in the direction of the arrows (1) and disengage tabs A to remove it.

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.
