Rain/Light Recognition Sensor, Removing And Installing: Notes

The Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- can be installed again if it is not damaged when removing it from the retaining plate on the windshield (for example when replacing the windshield). If the windshield is cracked in the area near the Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397-, then the Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- cannot be used again.

Store the removed Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- in a dust-free area and keep the silicone connecting pads from getting dirty.

If a Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- is replaced with a Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- with a different part number, the new Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- must be coded. Refer to Vehicle Electrical System Control Module -J519-, DEACTIVATING FACTORY MODE .

The Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397- cannot be optionally installed. Refer to the parts information for the correct Rain/Light Recognition Sensor -G397-.

CAUTION:
  • Turn off the ignition and all electrical equipment.
  • Remove the ignition key if equipped.
