   The output value changes according to the ambient light level.	A
   The output value does not change according to the ambient light level.	B

Result: 

B 

CHECK CUSTOMIZE PARAMETER SETTING (SENSITIVITY) 

(Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [10/2014 - ] )

Result: 

A 

See step  3

1. Replace the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) with a new or known good one (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] ).

   OK

   The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.

   HINT: 

   The combination meter assembly controls the meter illumination based on an auto dimmer signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). If the combination meter assembly does not dim when the headlight dimmer switch is in the tail, head, or AUTO position at night, it may be for one of 2 reasons. The first reason is that the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) did not send an auto dimmer signal. The second is that the combination meter assembly did not dim the meter illumination even though the combination meter assembly received an auto dimmer signal.

Result: 

OK
