About Rain Sensors
A rain sensor has the capability to detect when it's raining and automatically close the windows and sunroof and activate the windscreen wipers on the car.
The Toyota rain sensor is a clever device fitted to the front windscreen of the car. The sensor automatically switches on the windscreen wipers when it detects rain and can be set to automatically adjust the speed of the wipers to suit the amount of rain fall. It can also automatically close any windows that are open in the car and shut the sunroof. The exact features of the rain sensor will depend on the car manufacturers specifications. Buying a Toyota rain sensor will ensure you get a part that is perfectly compatible with the make and model of your vehicle.
Most rain sensors work by sending out a beam of infrared light onto the windscreen, at an angle from inside the car . The rain sensor then measures the amount of light reflected back to it from the windscreen. Wet glass emits less light back to the sensor which causes it to recognise that it's raining and the parts connected to the rain sensor, such as the windscreen wipers, will activate, and the windows and sun roof will automatically close.
If the rain sensor stops working there could be a number of reasons. Issues will arise if there is a faulty connection to the rain sensor and a worn or faulty diffuser inside the sensor will cause it to malfunction. Replacing the rain sensor in your car with the Toyota rain sensor is a wise choice. You can be sure to get a part that's designed specifically for the make and model of your vehicle, which means it will perform well and fit perfectly.
Toyota trivia
- As well as the best selling car of all time, Toyota is also responsible for the longest-running production on a car model ever. The Toyota model Land Cruiser started production in 1951, and as of 2019 has sold over 10 million units!
- Toyota has thousands and thousands of patents, and in 2019 it gave away an incredible 23,740 patents that had been awarded over more than 20 years. Those patents were all focused on electric vehicle technology.
- The founder's son, Kiichiro Toyoda, did a trip around the US to get inspiration for car designs. That's why those early Toyota cars look more than a little bit like Chevrolets and Dodge Power Wagons.
- It's not exactly a secret, but surprisingly few people are aware that Toyota also makes a couple of other brand-name cars. That's because they own or partially own Lexus, Subaru, and Scion.
- The Toyota Prius is just the latest example of why Toyota is widely considered the greenest company in the car industry. Consistent efforts at improving sustainability and eco-awareness led to them getting voted the number one Global Green Brand back in 2015.
