Lexus NX: Light Sensor Circuit Malfunction (B1244)
DESCRIPTION
The automatic light control sensor detects ambient light, converts it into an electrical signal and outputs it to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) turns the headlights and taillights on or off according to the signal.
The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) outputs DTC B1244.

OK:
The display is as specified in the normal condition column.
| OK | | REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
|
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU - AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR) |
(a) Disconnect the I48 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
(b) Disconnect the J6 automatic light control sensor connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| I48-21 (CLTE) - J6-2 (CLTE) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| I48-19 (CLTB) - J6-1 (CLTB) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| I48-20 (CLTS) - J6-4 (CLTS) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| I48-21 (CLTE) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| I48-19 (CLTB) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| I48-20 (CLTS) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 5. | CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
| (a) Remove the instrument panel junction block assembly and main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) as a unit with the connectors still connected. Click here |
|
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| I48-19 (CLTB) - I48-21 (CLTE) | Power switch off | Below 1 V |
| Power switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| NG | | REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
|
| 6. | CHECK AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR |
(a) Check the automatic light control sensor.
