Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ VALUE OF DATA LIST (RHEOSTAT VALUE)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the tester on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.
Combination Meter:
MEASUREMENT ITEM/RANGE CHARTTester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Rheostat value Light control rheostat/Min.: 0%, Max.: 100% Light control rheostat switch is Dark (0%) → Bright (100%) - OK:
The value displayed on the tester gradually changes as the actual rheostat operation.
OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
NG: Go to next step
- INSPECT LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
- Remove the light control rheostat.
- Measure the resistance of the rheostat.
Standard resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCETester Connection Rheostat Position Specified Condition 1 (E) - 3 (RV) Max. 8 to 12 kΩ 1 (E) - 3 (RV) Mid. 4.7 kΩ 1 (E) - 3 (RV) Min. 0 to 50 Ω
NG: REPLACE LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COMBINATION METER - LIGHT CONTROL RHEOSTAT)
- Disconnect the E19 meter connector.
- Disconnect the E2 rheostat connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
