Kia Sedona (2008 year). Instruction — part 548

1. Wiper blade

Check the wear of wiper blade. If it is excessively worn, wipe out clean to sense the rain amount
accurately.

2. Coupler

Ensure the coupler surface on the windshield is free of bubbles. Verify that the coupler is properly
positioned.

3. 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.

4. Exterior cover

Ensure the exterior cover of the rain sensor is properly installed.

5. Spring clip

Check the spring clip after removal of exterior cover if the rain sensor is disconnected from coupler.

1. Check the terminal inside the connector and wiring for compression, and check the terminal

whether it is inserted and locked correctly.

2. In addition, check the wiring connector and rain sensor connector for assembly and confirm to

prevent poor connection
