NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Check that the licence plate lamps illuminate

normally.

STEP 33. Check the wiring harness between licence plate
lamp connector F-06 (terminal 2) and intermediate
connector C-25 (terminal 10).
Q: Is the wiring harness between licence plate lamp

connector F-06 (terminal 2) and intermediate connector
C-25 (terminal 10) in good condition?
YES : Replace the licence plate lamp socket. Verify that the

licence plate lamps illuminate normally.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check the headlamp operation.

Q: Which of the headlamps does not illuminate?

LH (low beam) : Go to Step 2.
RH (low beam) : Go to Step 6.
LH (only low-beam) : Go to Step 10.
RH (only low-beam) : Go to Step 13.
LH (only high beam) : Go to Step 16.
RH (only high beam) : Go to Step 21.
Low beam only (both RH and LH) : Refer to Inspection

Procedure H-2 "The headlamps (low-beam) do not
illuminate normally

P.54B-264

."

High beam only (both RH and LH) : Refer to Inspection

Procedure H-3 "The headlamps (high-beam) do not
illuminate normally

P.54B-268

."

High beam indicator lamp : Refer to Inspection Procedure

H-8 "The high-beam indicator lamp does not
illuminate

P.54B-301

."

STEP 2. Check headlamp (LH) connector A-20 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is headlamp (LH) connector A-20 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Check that the headlamps illuminate

normally.

STEP 3. Check headlamp (LH) bulb.
(1) Remove the headlamp (LH) bulb.
(2) Verify that the headlamp (LH) bulb is not damaged or

burned out.

Q: Is headlamp (LH) bulb normal?

STEP 4. Check the ground circuit to the front Headlamp
(LH). Measure the resistance at front combination lamp
(LH) connector A-20.
(1) Disconnect front combination lamp (LH) connector A-20

and measure the resistance available at the wiring harness
side of the connector.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal (5) and

ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between headlamp (LH)
connector A-20 (terminal 5) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between headlamp (LH) connector

A-20 (terminal 5) and ground in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that
the headlamps illuminate normally.

STEP 6. Check headlamp (RH) connector A-32 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is headlamp (RH) connector A-32 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Check that the headlamps illuminate

normally.
