CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Recognition code registration is necessary when replacing the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).
If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) is replaced, refer to Registration.

PROCEDURE

2.	CHECK HEADLIGHT DIMMER RELAY (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI])

(a) Remove the headlight dimmer relay (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI]) from the engine room relay block.

(b) Inspect the headlight dimmer relay (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI]).

REPLACE HEADLIGHT DIMMER RELAY (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI])

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI] - BATTERY)

(a) Remove the headlight dimmer relay (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI]) from the engine room relay block.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 5 - Body ground	Power switch off	11 to 14 V
Relay terminal 1 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI] - HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY)

*1: for LH
*2: for RH

(a) Remove the headlight dimmer relay (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI]) from the engine room relay block.

(b) Disconnect the A66*1 and A68*2 headlight assembly connector.

Standard Resistance:

for LH

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 3 - A66-1 (HI)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Headlight relay terminal 3 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

for RH

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 3 - A68-1 (HI)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Headlight relay terminal 3 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

5.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI] - MAIN BODY ECU [MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU])

(a) Remove the headlight dimmer relay (H-LP LH/DIMMER [HI]) from the engine room relay block.

(b) Disconnect the I46 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 2 - I46-1 (DIM)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Relay terminal 2 or I46-1 (DIM) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

Mute Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Stereo Component Amplifier

DESCRIPTION This circuit sends a signal to the stereo component amplifier assembly to mute noise. Because of that, the noise produced by changing the sound source ceases. If there is an open in the circuit, noise can be heard from the speakers when changing the sound source. If there is a short in t
