Sun Sensor - Removal






REMOVAL

Special Tools:






WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.





1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the trim panel (2) that contains the sun sensor (1) from the top of the instrument panel using Trim Stick or equivalent and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector from the sensor.
3. Using Trim Stick or equivalent, gently pry on both sides of the sun sensor assembly and remove the sun sensor from the panel.
