High Beam Headlight Circuit (From 08/2009): Procedure
- CHECK OPERATION (LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS)
- Check the operation of the low beam headlights.
OK
Low beam headlights operate normally.
NG → See step 10
OK: Go to next step
- Check the operation of the low beam headlights.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Active Test.
- Check that the high beam headlights illuminate.MAIN BODY
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Head Light Hi High beam headlights ON/OFF OK
High beam headlights illuminate.
NG → See step 3
OK → See step 8
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHORT IN RELAY-DRIVEN CIRCUIT)
HINT:
When a short circuit occurs between the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly) and high beam headlight bulb, a fail-safe function operates to stop high beam headlight operation.
- Remove the H-LP RH HI fuse from the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly).
- Turn the light control switch to the head position and turn the dimmer switch to the high position.
- Check if the high beam headlight LH illuminates.
- Turn the dimmer switch to the low position.
- Install the H-LP RH HI fuse and remove the H-LP LH HI fuse.
- Turn the dimmer switch to the high position.
- Check if the high beam headlight RH illuminates.
OK
Either high beam headlight LH or RH illuminates.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT POWER DISTRIBUTOR (ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
- Remove the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly) from the engine room relay block. Refer to COMPONENTS .
- Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3A-1.
- Connect a negative (-) lead from the battery to terminals 3C-5 and 3C-17.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3B-1 - Battery negative Always 11 to 14 V 3B-5 - Battery negative Always 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected
(Power Distributor (Engine Room Junction Block Assembly))
NG → See step 7
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER DISTRIBUTOR - INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the 3C power distributor (engine room junction block assembly) connector.
- Disconnect the 2F 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 3C-5 - 2F-20 Always Below 1 Ω 3C-5 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Power Distributor (Engine Room Junction Block Assembly))*2 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Instrument Panel Junction Block Assembly)
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.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2F-20 - A-22 (DIM) Always Below 1 Ω 2F-20 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected
(Instrument Panel Junction Block Assembly)
NG → REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
OK → See step 9
- REPLACE POWER DISTRIBUTOR (ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY). Refer to COMPONENTS
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
- REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to COMPONENTS
- GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
