LO-beam Headlight does not Illuminate: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH)
- Using the Techstream, read the Data List.MAIN BODY
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Head Light SW (Head) Headlight dimmer switch (Head) signal/ON or OFF ON: Headlight dimmer switch (Head) on
OFF: Headlight dimmer switch off- OK
When the headlight dimmer switch operation is performed, the result will be the same as above.
NG → See step 3
OK: Go to next step
- Using the Techstream, read the Data List.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (HEADLIGHT)
- Using the Techstream, perform the Active Test.MAIN BODY
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Headlight Relay Headlight OFF/ON - OK
Headlight low beam turns on/off.
NG → See step 5
OK → REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU
- Using the Techstream, perform the Active Test.
- INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH
- Remove the headlight dimmer switch. Refer to INSPECTION .
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition 18 (T) - 12 (EL) Headlight dimmer switch (Light control switch) head Below 1 Ω 18 (T) - 12 (EL) Headlight dimmer switch (Light control switch) off 10 kΩ or higher
NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH - MAIN BODY ECU AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the E14 switch connector.
- Disconnect the E1 and E2 ECU connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E14-20 (H) - E2-17 (HEAD) Always Below 1 Ω E14-18 (T) - E1-23 (TAIL) E14-12 (EL) - Body ground E14-20 (H) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E14-18 (T) - Body ground
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU
- INSPECT HEADLIGHT RELAY (HEAD LO)
- Remove the HEAD LO relay from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 5 Battery voltage not applied to terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or higher Battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω
NG → REPLACE HEAD LO RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT RELAY (HEAD LO) - BATTERY)
- Remove the HEAD LO relay from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition HEAD LO relay terminal 1 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V HEAD LO relay terminal 5 - Body ground
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT - HEAD LO RELAY AND BODY GROUND)
- Remove the HEAD LO relay from the engine room relay block.
- Disconnect the A40 and A46 light connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
for LH
for RH
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition HEAD LO relay terminal 3 - A40-2 (LO) Always Below 1 Ω A40-6 (E) - Body ground A40-2 (LO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition HEAD LO relay terminal 3 - A46-2 (LO) Always Below 1 Ω A46-6 (E) - Body ground A46-2 (LO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM)
- Disconnect the 2B ECU connector.
- Using a service wire, connect terminal 2B-18 (HRLY) on the wire harness side and the body ground.
- Check that the headlight low beam illuminates.
OK
Headlight low beam illuminates.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (HEAD LO RELAY - MAIN BODY ECU)
OK → REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU
- REPLACE HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH. Refer to REMOVAL
