AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR

Note. Adjust automatic light control sensor if headlights illuminate too early or too late. Adjustment information for GS300, GS400 and RX300 models is not available from manufacturer.

Note. Adjustment on LS400 requires Lexus hand-held tester and appropriate software. Follow tester manufacturer's instructions.

ES300, SC300 & SC400

If headlights illuminate too early, turn sensitivity knob on sensor counterclockwise. (Scheme 1) If headlights illuminate too late, turn adjuster clockwise.

If headlights illuminate too early, turn sensitivity knob on sensor clockwise. (Scheme 1) If headlights illuminate too late, turn adjuster counterclockwise.

CIRCUIT TESTS

Note. For headlight system circuit tests not included, see appropriate wiring diagram in HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS or DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS articles.

AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR CIRCUIT

Note. Testing information for RX300 is not available from manufacturer.

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect automatic light control sensor harness connector. Check circuit values at appropriate terminals of automatic light control sensor harness connector. (Scheme 2)- (Scheme 6). Ensure circuit values are as specified. See appropriate SENSOR CIRCUIT VALUES table. If circuit values are as specified, go to next step. If circuit values are not as specified, check and repair affected circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS article.
  2. Reconnect automatic light control sensor harness connector. Turn ignition on. Turn light control switch to AUTO position, and ensure vehicle surroundings are bright. Check circuit values by backprobing at appropriate terminals of automatic light control sensor harness connector. (Scheme 2)- (Scheme 7). Ensure circuit values are as specified. See appropriate SENSOR CIRCUIT VALUES table. If circuit values are as specified, replace automatic light control sensor. If circuit values are not as specified, check and repair affected circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS article.
