DTC B1244: Light Sensor Circuit Malfunction [08/2015 - 08/2019]: Procedure

1. Clear the DTCs (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
2. Check for DTCs (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).

   OK

   DTC B1244 output does not occur.

Result: 

OK 

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK 

(Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [08/2015 - ] )

Result: 

NG 

See step  2

1. Using the Techstream, read the Data List (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2016] , or refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2016 - 08/2019] ).
   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.

Result: 

OK 

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) 

(Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

Result: 

NG 

See step  3

1. Disconnect the G47 main body ECU connector.
2. Disconnect the H45 automatic light control sensor connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   G47-22 (CLTE) - H45-3 (CLTE)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   G47-21 (CLTS) - H45-5 (CLTS)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   G47-20 (CLTB) - H45-6 (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

Result: 

NG 

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

Result: 

OK 

See step  4

1. Remove the driver side junction block with its connectors still connected (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
