Sun light sensor

Post by 486 »

Is there socket for the sun light sensor? I found one second hand but it ends with a cut wires. It seems my sensor returns wrong values and I want to replace it. Is there known behaviour of air condition if this sensor does not work well?

PS: Is it possible to get Check Engine lamp because of this sensor? (Plus Antipollution ... message).

No idea if there is a connector anywhere near the sensor.
Changing the windscreen can affect how well it works
It's possible to adjust the sensitivity, (in a couple of steps), via PP2000
Can't see any way it could affect the EML / Antipollution message
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)

2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
