Kia Picanto: Auto Lighting Control System / Auto Light Sensor
Repair procedures
Check
if the auto light control operates like a timing chart shown below.
Tail lamp output and head lamp (Low) output is controlled based on the
auto light sensor's input (illumination intensity) when the Auto Light
Switch in Multi-Function Switch is turned ON, and the vehicle is in IGN1
or IGN2 ON Mode. If IGN1 = ON, BCM detects this voltage, and if the
voltage exceeds rated voltage, then auto light failure occurs. (below 4V
or above 6V)
Failure
Occurrence: If auto light failure occurs, the head lamp must be turned
ON regardless of sun light level. This is to prevent the head lamp from
being turned OFF in case of auto light failure during night time. |
In
the state of IGN1 ON, when multi function switch module detects auto
light switch on, tail lamp relay output and head lamp low relay output
are controlled according to auto light sensor's input.The auto light
control doesn't work if the pin sunlight supply (5V regulated power from
Ignition 1 power to sunlight sensor) is in short circuit with the
ground.If IGN1 ON, The BCM monitors the range of this supply and raises
up a failure as soon as the supply’s voltage is out of range. Then this
failure occurs and as long as this is present, the head lamp must be
turned on without taking care about the sunlight level provided by the
sensor.This is designed to prevent any head lamp cut off when the
failure occurs during the night.
