Headlight Dimmer Switch: Inspection

  1. INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH 
    1. Check the resistance of the light control switch.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance and check the results in accordance with the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance 

        STANDARD RESISTANCE

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        14 - 16 OFF 10 kΩ or higher
        13 - 16 OFF 10 kΩ or higher
        14 - 16 TAIL Below 1 Ω
        14 - 16 HEAD Below 1 Ω
        13 - 16 HEAD Below 1 Ω

        If the result is not as specified, replace the headlight dimmer switch.

    2. Check the resistance of the headlight dimmer switch.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance and check the results in accordance with the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance 

        STANDARD RESISTANCE

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        8 - 16 FLASH Below 1 Ω
        7 - 16 FLASH Below 1 Ω
        16 - 17 LOW BEAM Below 1 Ω
        7 - 16 HI BEAM Below 1 Ω

        If the result is not as specified, replace the headlight dimmer switch.

    3. Check the resistance of the turn signal switch.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance and check the results in accordance with the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance 

        STANDARD RESISTANCE

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        2 - 3 Right turn Below 1 Ω
        2 - 3 Neutral 10 kΩ or higher
        1 - 2 Neutral 10 kΩ or higher
        1 - 2 Left turn Below 1 Ω

        If the result is not as specified, replace the headlight dimmer switch.
