Rain Sensor: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Kia Sedona and 2006 Kia Sedona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Wiper blade
Check the wear of wiper blade. If it is excessively worn, wipe out clean to sense the rain amount accurately.
- Coupler
Ensure the coupler surface on the windshield is free of bubbles. Verify that the coupler is properly positioned.
- 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 exceeds a certain level. This is confirmed by the self-diagnosis of sensor.
- Exterior cover
Ensure the exterior cover of the rain sensor is properly installed.
- Spring clip
Check the spring clip after removal of exterior cover if the rain sensor is disconnected from coupler.
- Connector
- Check the terminal inside the connector and wiring for compression, and check the terminal whether it is inserted and locked correctly.
- In addition, check the wiring connector and rain sensor connector for assembly and confirm to prevent poor connection
