Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Photo Sensor
Description and operation
Description
The photo sensor is located at the center of the defrost nozzles.
The photo sensor contains a photovoltaic (sensitive to sunlight) diode. The solar
radiation received by its light receiving portion, generates an electromotive force
in proportion to the amount of radiation received which is then transferred to the
automatic temperature control module so that the solar radiation compensation can
be performed.
