Inspection Procedure
- READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (RHEOSTAT VALUE)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.
Combination Meter:
MEASUREMENT ITEM/RANGE CHARTTester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Rheostat value Light control rheostat / Min.: 0, Max.: 255 Light control rheostat switch is Dark (0%) → Bright (100%) - OK: Light brightness can be changed within the specified range by actual operation.
NG: Go to step 2
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
- INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
- Remove the light control rheostat with connector still connected.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition R6-1 (E) - R6-7 (RV) Rheostat knob is in the MAX. position 8 to 12 kΩ R6-1 (E) - R6-7 (RV) Rheostat knob is in the MIN. position. Approx. 0 Ω
NG: REPLACE LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
OK: Go to next step.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BETWEEN COMBINATION MATER AND LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT)
- Disconnect the C9 and R6 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition C9-13 (RE) - R6-1 (E) Always Below 1 Ω C9-14 (TR) - R6-7 (RV) Always Below 1 Ω R6-7 (RV) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher R6-1 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
