Troubleshooting Hints

  1. STEP 1. Check electric foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES:  Go to Step 2.

    NO:  Repair the defective connector.

  2. STEP 2. Measure the voltage at foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH). 
    1. Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
    2. Measure the voltage between the D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) electric folding second seat connector (terminal No. 1) and the ground.

      The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage). 

    Q: Does the voltage measure battery voltage? 

    YES:  Go to  STEP 4.

    NO:  Go to Step 3.

  3. STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) (terminal No. 1) and the fusible link (34). 
    NOTE: Before the wiring harness check, check the relay box connector C-308, and the intermediate connector C-35, C-32 and then repair them if necessary.

    Q: Is wiring harness between foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) (terminal No. 1) and the fusible link (34) in good condition? 

    YES:  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

    NO:  Repair the wiring harness.

  4. STEP 4. Measure the resistance at foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH). 
    1. Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
    2. Measure the resistance between the resistance at foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) (terminal No. 5) and ground.

      The measured value should be continuity exists (2 Ω or less). 

    Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with this range? 

    YES:  Go to  STEP 6.

    NO:  Go to Step 5.

  5. STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) (terminal No. 5) and ground. 

    Q: Is wiring harness between foot light connector D-102 (RH), D-120 (LH) (terminal No. 5) and ground in good condition? 

    YES:  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

    NO:  Repair the wiring harness.

  6. STEP 6. Retest the system. 

    Check that the foot light illuminates normally.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    YES:  The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

    NO:  Replace the under cover rear.
