Lexus NX: Operating Light Control Rheostat does not Change Light Brightness
DESCRIPTION
The combination meter assembly receives signals from this circuit to adjust the illumination of the combination meter assembly. The combination meter assembly sets the illumination level based on the user operation of the light control rheostat switch in the trip switch.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
When replacing the combination meter assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one.
HINT:
- The meter illumination level can be adjusted by pressing the light control rheostat switch.
- The meter illumination dims when the taillights are turned on.
- Setting the meter illumination to maximum brightness cancels the above dimming of the meter illumination.

| I10-25 (TR) - I1-2 (RV) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| I10-26 (SW3) - I1-5 (E) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| I10-25 (TR) or I1-2 (RV) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| I10-26 (SW3) or I1-5 (E) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| OK | | REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
