DTC B1244: Light Sensor Circuit Malfunction: Procedure
- CHECK FOR DTC
- Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
- Check for DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR
.
OK
DTC B1244 output does not occur.
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 8
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR)
- Using the Techstream, read the Data List. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
.MAIN BODY
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Illumination Rate Illumination rate information / 0 ms to 99.99 ms Value output according to ambient light levels - OK
Normal condition listed above is displayed.
NG → See step 3
OK → See step 6
- Using the Techstream, read the Data List. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU - AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR)
- Disconnect the G47 main body ECU connector.
- Disconnect the H19 automatic light control sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G47-22 (CLTE) - H19-3 (CLTE) Always Below 1 Ω G47-21 (CLTS) - H19-5 (CLTS) Always Below 1 Ω G47-20 (CLTB) - H19-6 (CLTB) Always Below 1 Ω G47-22 (CLTE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher G47-21 (CLTS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher G47-20 (CLTB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)
- Remove the driver side junction block with its connectors still connected. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition G47-20 (CLTB) - G47-22 (CLTE) Engine switch off Below 1 V Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Main Body ECU)
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR
- Remove the automatic light control sensor with its connector still connected. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Connect an oscilloscope to the automatic light control sensor connector.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Component with harness connected
(Automatic Light Control Sensor) - Check the waveform.
OK
Tester Connection Tool Setting Switch Condition Specified Condition H19-3 (CLTE) - H19-5 (CLTS) 5 V/DIV., 5 ms./DIV. Engine switch on (IG), headlight dimmer switch in AUTO position Correct waveform is as shown HINT:
When the ambient light becomes brighter, width A becomes narrower.
NG → See step 7
OK → See step 6
- REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR. Refer to REMOVAL
- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE
