Camry
Inaccurate Humidity Sensing
Display shows incorrect humidity readings (e.g., always 30% or 90%)

Possible Causes
Drifted humidity sensor, Sensor blocked by dust, Sensor placed too close to exhaust air, Faulty sensor circuitry on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the Camry unit before accessing the sensor.
Steps:
- 1. Compare readings: Use a separate hygrometer to compare room humidity with the unit’s display.
- 2. Clean sensor area: Gently clean the humidity sensor vents with a soft brush and compressed air.
- 3. Relocate unit: Ensure the unit is not placed where its own exhaust air blows directly onto the sensor area.
- 4. Replace sensor: If readings remain inaccurate, replace the humidity sensor module as described earlier.
- 5. PCB check: If a new sensor does not fix the issue, the main PCB’s sensor circuit may be defective and require replacement.
Note: Some small deviation (±5%) is normal; focus on large or stuck readings.
