- Confirm the symptoms.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (RHEOSTAT VALUE)
- 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
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Rheostat value Light control rheostat value/Min.: 0 (dark), Max.: 255 (bright) The light control rheostat value 0 (dark) - The light control rheostat value 255 (bright) OK
The value displayed on the Techstream gradually changes as the actual rheostat knob operation.
