- INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
- Remove the light control rheostat. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition 2 (UP) - 8 (E) Light control rheostat up switch pressed Below 1 Ω Light control rheostat up switch not pressed 10 kΩ or higher 1 (DOWN) - 8 (E) Light control rheostat down switch pressed Below 1 Ω Light control rheostat down switch not pressed 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected

OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT)
- Disconnect the F4 and F56 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F4-16 (RHUP) - F56-2 (UP) Always Below 1 Ω F4-16 (RHUP) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F4-14 (RHDW) - F56-1 (DOWN) Always Below 1 Ω F4-14 (RHDW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F56-8 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
