STEP 11. Check the wiring harness between side step
light-ECU connector D-137 (terminal 4) and side step light
assembly (RH) connector F-30 (terminal 2).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector D-111 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector. If intermediate connector D-111 is damaged, repair
or replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness
Connector Inspection

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between side step light-ECU

connector D-137 (terminal 4) and side step light
assembly (RH) connector F-30 (terminal 2) in good
condition?
YES : Replace the side step light-ECU. Verify that the side

step light illuminate normally.

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.
