(to Automatic Light Control Sensor)

(b) Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

*1: for HV Model

*2: for Gasoline Model

G23-1 (CLTB) - G23-2 (CLTE)

Power switch off*1

Below 1 V

Engine switch off*2

Power switch on (IG)*1

11 to 14 V

Engine switch on (IG)*2

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

G23-2 (CLTE) - Body ground

Always

Below 1 Ω

If the result is not as specified, there may be a malfunction on the wire harness side.

(c) Connect the G23 automatic light control sensor connector.

(d) Connect an oscilloscope to terminals G23-2 (CLTE) and G23-4 (CLTS) of the automatic light control sensor connector and check the waveform.
