Height Control Sensor Circuit: Procedure

  1. INSPECT HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (FRONT LH) 
    1. Connect the 3 dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in series.

    2. Remove the height control sensor front LH.
    3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3 and the negative (-) lead from the battery to terminal 1.
    4. Measure the voltage between terminals 2 and 1 while slowly moving the link up and down.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 (SHFL) - 1 (SHG) +45° (High) Approx 4.5 V
      2 (SHFL) - 1 (SHG) 0° (Normal) Approx 2.5 V
      2 (SHFL) - 1 (SHG) -45° (Low) Approx 0.5 V

    NG → REPLACE HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (FRONT LH) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (REAR LH) 
    1. Connect the 3 dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in series.

    2. Remove the height control sensor rear LH.
    3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3 and the negative (-) lead from the battery to terminal 1.
    4. Measure the voltage between terminals 2 and 1 while slowly moving the link up and down.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 (SHRL) - 1 (SHG) +45° (High) Approx 4.5 V
      2 (SHRL) - 1 (SHG) 0° (Normal) Approx 2.5 V
      2 (SHRL) - 1 (SHG) -45° (Low) Approx 0.5 V

    NG → REPLACE HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (REAR LH) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ECU - HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (FRONT LH OR REAR LH)) 
    1. Check the wire harness between the headlight beam level control ECU and height control sensor (front LH).
