Rain Sensor Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mazda 5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The reflection rate at the moment the ignition switch is first turned on after replacing the rain sensor with a new one is stored as the condition indicating zero precipitation on the windshield. Therefore, before turning on the ignition switch, remove water and dirt from the windshield.
  • In addition, rain sensor initialization is performed for the following cases: (See RAIN SENSOR INITIALIZATION SETTING .)
    • The windshield is replaced and the rain sensor is reused.
    • The auto wiper system operates incorrectly.
  • The rain sensor is integrated with the auto light sensor as a single unit.

  2. Remove the rearview mirror cover.(See REARVIEW MIRROR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION VEHICLES WITH THE AUTO WIPER SYSTEM .)
  3. Disconnect the rain sensor connector.
