RESULTResult Proceed to OK A NG (Light control switch, dimmer switch or fog light switch*1) B NG (Turn signal switch) C - *1: w/ Fog Light
B → See step 2
C → See step 4
A → See step 6
- INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH ASSEMBLY (LIGHT CONTROL SWITCH, DIMMER SWITCH OR FOG LIGHT SWITCH)
- Inspect the headlight dimmer switch assembly. Refer to INSPECTION [07/2014 - ] .
NG → See step 7
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH ASSEMBLY - MAIN BODY ECU AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the D106 headlight dimmer switch assembly connector.
- Disconnect the D143 main body ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D106-4 (BFG) - D143-27 (FFOG)*1 Always Below 1 Ω D106-11 (HU) - D143-5 (HU) Always Below 1 Ω D106-17 (HF) - D143-8 (HF) Always Below 1 Ω D106-18 (T) - D143-30 (TAIL) Always Below 1 Ω D106-19 (A) - D143-28 (A)*2 Always Below 1 Ω D106-20 (H) - D143-29 (HEAD) Always Below 1 Ω D106-3 (LFG) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω D106-12 (EL) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω D106-4 (BFG) or D143-27 (FFOG) - Body ground*1 Always 10 kΩ or higher D106-11 (HU) or D143-5 (HU) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D106-17 (HF) or D143-8 (HF) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D106-18 (T) or D143-30 (TAIL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D106-19 (A) or D143-28 (A) - Body ground*2 Always 10 kΩ or higher D106-20 (H) or D143-29 (HEAD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - *1: w/ Fog Light
- *2: w/ DRL OFF function
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 8
- INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH ASSEMBLY (TURN SIGNAL SWITCH)
- Inspect the headlight dimmer switch assembly. Refer to INSPECTION [07/2014 - ] .
NG → See step 7
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the D106 headlight dimmer switch assembly connector.
- Disconnect the D101 combination meter assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D106-13 (TR) - D101-9 (ER) Always Below 1 Ω D106-15 (TL) - D101-10 (EL) Always Below 1 Ω D106-12 (EL) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω D106-13 (TR) or D101-9 (ER) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D106-15 (TL) or D101-10 (EL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
