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

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Relay terminal 5 - Body ground | Power switch off | 11 to 14 V |
| Relay terminal 2 - Body ground | Power switch off | 11 to 14 V |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT RELAY [H-LP (LO)] - HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY) |
- *1: for LH
- *2: for RH
(a) Remove the headlight relay (H-LP [LO]) from the No. 2 engine room relay block.
(b) Disconnect the A66*1 and A68*2 headlight assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
for LH
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Relay terminal 3 - A66-3 (LO) | 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 - A68-3 (LO) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| Headlight relay terminal 3 - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT RELAY [H-LP (LO)] - INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Remove the headlight relay (H-LP [LO]) from the No. 2 engine room relay block.
(b) Disconnect the 4B instrument panel junction block assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Relay terminal 1 - 4B-53 | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| Relay terminal 1 or 4B-53 - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 6. | INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY |
| (a) Remove the instrument panel junction block assembly. Click here |
