Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Select the ACTIVE TEST, use the intelligent tester to generate a control command, and then check that the headlight assembly (low) illuminates.

      Multiplex network body ECU 

      ACTIVE TEST DETAIL - MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU

      Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
      HEAD LIGHT Headlight relay ON / OFF -

      OK: 

      Headlight assembly (low) illuminates. 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT FUSE (H-LP L LWR, H-LP R LWR) 
    1. Remove the H-LP L LWR fuse from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
    2. Remove the H-LP R LWR fuse from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
    3. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT HEAD LP RELAY 
    1. Remove the HEAD LP relay from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the HEAD LP relay.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 5 Below 1 Ω
      (When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)

    NG: REPLACE HEAD LP RELAY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COWL SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK RH - BATTERY) 
    1. Disconnect the DL junction block connector.
    2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (HEADLIGHT (LOW LH OR LOW RH) - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Check the wire harness between the headlight (Low LH) and battery, and the headlight (Low LH) and body ground.
      1. Disconnect the B11 light connector.
      2. Turn the light control switch to the ON (HEAD) position.
      3. Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.

        Standard voltage 

        VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        B11-17 (LO) - Body ground 10 to 14 V

        Standard resistance 

        RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        B11-16 (E) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    2. Check the wire harness between the headlight (Low RH) and battery, and the headlight (Low RH) and body ground.
      1. Disconnect the B2 light connector.
      2. Turn the light control switch to the ON (HEAD) position.
      3. Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.

        Standard voltage 

        VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        B2-17 (LO) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

        Standard resistance

    OK: REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY (LOW LH OR LOW RH) 

    NG: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (HEADLIGHT (LOW LH OR LOW RH) - HEAD LP RELAY) 
    1. Check the harness and the connectors between the headlight (Low LH or Low RH) and the HEAD LP relay.
      1. Disconnect the B11 light connector.
      2. Remove the HEAD LP relay from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
      3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

        Standard resistance (Check for open)
