    3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the batteries to terminal 3 (SHB) and the negative (-) lead from the batteries to terminal 1 (SHG).
    4. Measure the voltage between terminals 2 (SHRR) and 1 (SHG) while slowly moving the link up and down.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 (SHRR) - 1 (SHG) +45° (High) 3.6 to 4.4 V
      0° (Normal) 2.0 to 2.4 V
      -35° (Low) 0.8 to 1.0 V

      *c Standard position
      *d (High)

    NG → See step   12 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT LEVELING ECU ASSEMBLY - HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the A48 headlight leveling ECU assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the S3 rear height control sensor sub-assembly RH connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A48-12 (SBR) - S3-3 (SHB) Always Below 1 Ω
      A48-19 (SHRL) - S3-2 (SHRR) Always Below 1 Ω
