Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT FUSE (H-LP RH/H-LP LO RH, H-LP LH/H-LP LO LH) 
    1. Remove the H-LP RH/H-LP LO RH and H-LP LH/H-LP LO LH fuses from the engine room relay block.
    2. Measure the resistance.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    3. Reinstall the H-LP RH/H-LP LO RH and H-LP LH/H-LP LO LH fuses.

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. INSPECT BULB (HEADLIGHT BULB) 
    1. Disconnect the B4 and B6 headlight connectors.
    2. Apply battery voltage to the terminals and check that the headlight illuminates.
