Optical Sensor
 
 
COMPONENT FUNCTION WITHIN SYSTEM
Optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to BCM.
 
 
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT FUNCTION
Detects the outside brightness.
 
 
COMPONENT OPERATION
The optical sensor outputs voltage signals to the BCM according to the brightness of the ambient light. This sensor increases the voltage output according to increases in the brightness of the ambient light.
 
 
COMPONENT PARTS LOCATION
Optical sensor is installed in instrument garnish. Refer to Component Parts Location.
