NG → See step 3
OK → See step 9
- CHECK ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
- Using a voltmeter, check the signal reading of the engine room junction block assembly. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [08/2013 - ]
.
OK
Output signal reading is normal.
NG → See step 12
OK: Go to next step
- Using a voltmeter, check the signal reading of the engine room junction block assembly. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [08/2013 - ]
.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY POWER SOURCE AND BODY GROUND) See step 4
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY - ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the 3D instrument panel junction block assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1G-2 (TAIL) - 3D-9 Always Below 1 Ω 3D-9 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher 1F-13 (FOGS) - 3D-38 Always Below 1 Ω 3D-38 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
- Remove the instrument panel junction block assembly. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] .
- Remove the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) from the instrument panel junction block assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition MB-13 (FFGO) - 3D-38 Always Below 1 Ω 3D-38 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Connect a positive (+) lead from the auxiliary battery to terminal 3E-1.
- Connect a negative (-) lead from the auxiliary battery to terminal MB-14 (TRLY).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3D-9 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component without harness connected
(Instrument Panel Junction Block Assembly)
NG → See step 10
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY - FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the 1F engine room junction block assembly connector.
- Disconnect the A5 fog light assembly LH connector.
- Disconnect the A48 fog light assembly RH connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1F-1 (FOGR) - A5-2 Always Below 1 Ω 1F-1 (FOGR) - A48-2 Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
- Replace the engine room junction block assembly with a new or known good one. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] .
- Check that the fog lights operate normally.
OK
The fog lights operate normally.
NG → See step 13
OK → END (ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE)
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [08/2013 - ]
- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
- GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [08/2013 - ]
- INSPECT ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY (RESULTS OF SIGNAL READING CHECK). Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [08/2013 - ] - Step 2
- REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
