High Beam Headlight Circuit [09/2014 - 10/2018]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Lexus RC 350, 2018 Lexus RC 300, 2017 Lexus RC 350, 2017 Lexus RC 300, and 2017 Lexus RC 200t. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Active Test.
    5. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the Techstream.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [09/2014 - 10/2018] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK SEMICONDUCTOR POWER INTEGRATION ECU 
    1. Using a voltmeter, check the signal reading of the semiconductor pwr integration ECU.

      Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [09/2014 - ]

      OK

      Output signal reading is normal.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    INSPECT SEMICONDUCTOR POWER INTEGRATION ECU (RESULTS OF SIGNAL READING CHECK). Refer to  PROCEDURE - Step 2 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SEMICONDUCTOR PWR INTEGRATION ECU POWER SOURCE AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Remove the semiconductor pwr integration ECU from the No. 2 engine room relay block and No. 2 junction block assembly.

      Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - ]

      - -
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2B-1 (BATT) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      2A-1 (ALT) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2D-14 (GND1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      2G-5 (GND2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SEMICONDUCTOR PWR INTEGRATION ECU - MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)) 
    1. Disconnect the O2 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2D-2 (-S) - O2-1 (DIM) Always Below 1 Ω
      O2-1 (DIM) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK SEMICONDUCTOR POWER INTEGRATION ECU 
    1. Replace the semiconductor pwr integration ECU with a new or known good one.

      Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - ]

    2. Check that the high beam headlights operate normally.

      OK

      High beam headlights operate normally.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    END (SEMICONDUCTOR PWR INTEGRATION ECU WAS DEFECTIVE) 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to  REMOVAL [09/2014 - ]
