Test 8F - Repairing Open In Panel Lights Feed Circuit
NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAMS
article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. Perform TEST VER - 1A after each repair.
CAUTION:
Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
- Reinstall fuse No. 9. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect Natural body controller connector. Body controller is located under left side of instrument panel. Check connector, and clean or repair connector as necessary.
- Using DRB-II in voltmeter mode, measure voltage of fused park light relay output circuit at Natural body controller connector terminal No. 16 (Tan wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to step 4). If voltage is more than 10 volts, disconnect left pod switch connectors.
- Using an external ohmmeter measure resistance between terminals No. 1 and No. 6 of left pod switch. If while moving dimmer control from low to high, resistance does not range from less than 2000 ohms to more than 9000 ohms, replace left pod switch. If while moving dimmer control from low to high, resistance ranges from less than 2000 ohms to more than 9000 ohms, replace body controller.
- Using DRB-II in voltmeter mode, measure voltage of Black/Yellow wire (in fuse block) to fuse No. 9. If voltage is more than 10 volts, repair open in Tan wire between fuse and body controller. If voltage is less than 10 volts, disconnect jumper wire at relay center.
- Using an external ohmmeter, measure resistance of park light relay output circuit between fuse No. 9 (Black/Yellow wire) and park light relay. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Yellow wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace park light relay.
