combination meter connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 2. Check the bulb(s) of the headlamps or the

Step 3. Measure the resistance at A-30
<headlamp RH>, A-15 <headlamp LH> headlamp
assembly connector or C-05 <high-beam
indicator> combination meter connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Check the resistance between the lamp

connector and body earth.

•

Resistance between A-30 <right headlamp>

headlamp assembly connector terminal No.2
and body earth

•

Resistance between A-15 <left headlamp>
headlamp assembly connector terminal No.2
and body earth

•

Resistance between C-05 <high-beam indicator

lamp> combination meter connector terminal
No.8 and body earth

OK: 2

Ω

or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness from A-30
<right headlamp> or A-15 <left headlamp>
headlamp connector terminal No.2, or C-05
<high-beam indicator lamp> combination meter
connector terminal No.8 to body earth.
