Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT ODO/TRIP SWITCH 
    ODO/TRIP SWITCH REFERENCE

    Result Go To
    Light illumination level does not change. A
    Tail cancel switch does not operate. B
    Light illumination level does not change and tail cancel switch does not operate. A

    B: Go to step   6 

    A: Go to next step. 

  2. CHECK SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the light illumination level changes normally on other systems such as the multi-display and the radio receiver.

    OK: Other systems operate normally. 

    NG: Go to step   4 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ODO/TRIP SWITCH - COMBINATION METER ASSY) (SEE  INTRODUCTION  ) 
    1. Disconnect the C10 and R6 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard: 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

    Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
    C10-29 - R6-6 Always Below 1 Ω
    C10-29 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
