  1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
  2. Select opti sen of bcm (head lamp) data monitor item.
  3. Turn the lighting switch to AUTO.

*: Illuminates the optical sensor. The value may be less than the standard


*: Illuminates the optical sensor. The value may be less than the standard value if brightness is weak.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Optical sensor is normal.

NO >> Refer to EXL-103, "Diagnosis Procedure".
