- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (LIGHT CONTROL UP SWITCH, LIGHT CONTROL DOWN SWITCH)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.COMBINATION METER

- INSPECT TRIP SWITCH
- Remove the trip switch. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2012 - ] .
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 (IG) - 5 (E) Light control rheostat up switch pressed Below 1 Ω Light control rheostat up switch not pressed 10 kΩ or higher Light control rheostat down switch pressed Below 1 Ω Light control rheostat down switch not pressed 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component without harness connected
(Trip Switch)
NG → See step 5
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - TRIP SWITCH)
- Disconnect the H14 combination meter assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H14-24 (TR) - H64-3 (IG) Always Below 1 Ω H14-24 (TR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher H64-5 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 4
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2012 - ]
- REPLACE TRIP SWITCH. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2012 - ]
