STEP 23. Check the ground circuit to the taillight (LH). Test
at rear light (LH) connector G-16.
(1) Disconnect rear light (LH) connector G-16 and measure the

resistance available at the wiring harness side of the
connector.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 3 and

ground.

• The resistance should equal 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : Go to Step 24.

STEP 24. Check rear light (LH) connector G-16 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is rear light (LH) connector G-16 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 25.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Verify that the taillights illuminate normally.

STEP 25. Check the wiring harness between rear light (LH)
connector G-16 (terminal 3) and ground.

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector F-10 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector. If intermediate connector F-10 is damaged, repair or
replace the damaged component(s) as described in GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between rear light (LH) connector

G-16 (terminal 3) 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 taillights illuminate normally.

STEP 26. Check the taillight bulb (LH).
(1) Remove the taillight bulb (LH).
(2) Verify that the taillight bulb (LH) is not damaged or burned

out.

Q: Is the taillight bulb (LH) in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 27.
NO : Replace the taillight bulb (LH). Verify that the taillights

(LH) illuminates normally.
