2. Rain sensor Installation
The two springs should be closed simultaneously. Once closed, press the housing forward to ensure proper
adhesion of the sensor to the windshield.
3. Connect the rain sensor connector, and then install the sensor cover.
It is very important that the coupling pad pushes against the windshield completely to prevent bubbles from
forming at the contact surface.
INSPECTION
1. Wiper blade
Check the wear of wiper blade. If it is excessively worn, wipe out clean to sense the rain amount accurately.
2. Coupler
Ensure the coupler surface on the windshield is free of bubbles. Verify that the coupler is properly positioned.
3. Glass
Check the windshield glass surface beyond the sensing range for the excessive wear, scratch or crack.
Although the sensor compensates for wear to a certain level, sensor fails to sense accurately if it excceds a certain
level. This is confirmed by the self-diagnosis of sensor.
4. Exterior cover
Ensure the exterior cover of the rain sensor is properly installed.
5. Spring clip
Check the spring clip after removal of exterior cover if the rain sensor is disconnected from coupler.
6. Connector
(1) Check the terminal inside the connector and wiring for compression, and check the terminal whether it is
inserted and locked correctly.
(2) In addition, check the wiring connector and rain sensor connector for assembly and confirm to prevent poor
connection
