DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: A-117 position lamp
(LH) connector or A-37 position lamp (RH)
connector, F-05 <vehicles with rear body> or F-22
<vehicles without rear body> licence plate lamp
(LH) connector or F-06 <vehicles with rear body>
or F-21 <vehicles without rear body> licence
plate lamp (RH) connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Check the bulbs of the position lamps or
the licence plate lamps.
Check the bulb of the lamp which does not illumi-
nate.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Replace the bulb of the lamp which does not
illuminate.

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the A-117
position lamp (LH) connector or A-37 position
lamp (RH) connector, the F-05 <vehicles with rear
body> or F-22 <vehicles without rear body>
licence plate lamp (LH) connector or F-06
<vehicles with rear body> or F-21 <vehicles
without rear body> licence plate lamp (RH)
connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Check the resistance between the lamp

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-117
position lamp (LH) connector terminal No.2 or A-
37 position lamp (RH) connector terminal No.2, F-
05 licence plate lamp (LH) connector terminal
No.1 or F-06 licence plate lamp (RH) connector
terminal No.1 to body earth.

NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate connector F-07 <licence plate lamp>,
and repair if necessary.

• Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.
