Operating Light Control Rheostat does not Change Light Brightness: Procedure

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

      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 

  4. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [06/2012 - ]
