HEADLAMP

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54A-131

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: A-58 <headlamp (LO:
LH)>, A-147 <headlamp (LO: RH)>, A-59 (HI: LH),
A-146 (HI: RH) headlamp connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Bulb check
Check the bulb(s) of headlamp that does not illumi-
nate.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Replace the bulb(s) of the lamp that does
not illuminate.

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the A-58
<headlamp (LO: LH)>, A-147 <headlamp (LO:
RH)>, A-59 (HI: LH), A-146 (HI: RH) headlamp
connector

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance between the connector of

lamp which does not illuminate and the body

earth.

•

Measure the resistance between the A-58 head-

lamp (LO: LH) connector terminal No. 1 and
the body earth.

• Measure the resistance between the A-147

headlamp (LO: RH) connector terminal No. 1
and the body earth.

•

Measure the resistance between the A-59 head-

lamp (HI: LH) connector terminal No. 1 and
the body earth.

• Measure the resistance between the A-146

headlamp (HI: RH) connector terminal No. 1
and the body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (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-58
<headlamp (LO: LH)>, A-147 <headlamp (LO:
RH)>, A-59 (HI: LH), A-146 (HI: RH) headlamp
connector (terminal No.1) to body earth

• Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

Use Troubleshooting/inspection Service
Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction ).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

connector (terminal No.2) to A-22X headlamp
relay (LO) or A-23X headlamp relay (HI)
connector (terminal No.3)

• Check the power supply line for open circuit and

short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Retest the system
Check that the headlamps illuminate normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

Use Troubleshooting/inspection Service
Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction ).

NO :

Replace the headlamp socket.

Inspection Procedure 6: The headlamp automatic-shutdown function does not work normally.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The ETACS-ECU operates this function in accord-
ance with the input signals below.

• Ignition switch (IG1)

• Driver's door switch

• Tail lamp switch

• Headlamp switch

If this function does not work normally, these input
signal circuit(s) or the ETACS-ECU may be defec-
tive.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the driver's door switch

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check of adjustment details for the
headlamp automatic-shutdown
Check that the headlamp automatic-shutdown func-
tion is set to "B-spec" using the customise function of
M.U.T-III.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Using the customise function of M.U.T-III,
set the headlamp automatic-shutdown
function to "B-spec."

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK"
(OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU does not
set the diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Refer to diagnosis code chart

P.54A-494

.

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the input signals below, which are related to
the headlamp automatic-shutdown function.

• Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

• Open the drive’s door.

• Turn the headlamp switch to the ON position.

OK: Normal conditions are displayed for all
the items

Q: Are the check result normal?
