- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Data List.
- According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.MAIN BODY
Techstream Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Illumination Rate Info Illumination rate information/
0 to 2162.65 msValue output according to ambient light levels - OK
Normal conditions listed above are displayed.
NG → See step 3
OK → See step 6
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR - MAIN BODY ECU - MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)
- Disconnect the D1 automatic light control sensor connector.
- Disconnect the C25 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D1-3 (CLTB) - C25-20 (CLTB) Always Below 1 Ω D1-4 (CLTS) - C25-21 (CLTS) Always Below 1 Ω D1-6 (CLTE) - C25-22 (CLTE) Always Below 1 Ω D1-3 (CLTB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D1-4 (CLTS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D1-6 (CLTE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

- Reconnect the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition C25-20 (CLTB) - C25-22 (CLTE) Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V Power switch off Below 1 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Main Body ECU - Multiplex Network Body ECU)

OK: Go to next step
- CHECK AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR
- Reconnect the automatic light control sensor connector.
- Connect an oscilloscope to the automatic light control sensor connector.
- Check the waveform.
OK
Tester Connection Tool Setting Switch Condition Specified Condition D1-4 (CLTS) - D1-6 (CLTE) 5 V/DIV., 5 ms./DIV. Power switch on (IG) and light control switch in AUTO position Correct waveform is as shown HINT:
When the ambient light becomes brighter, width A becomes narrower.
