- SYSTEM CHECK
With CONSULT-II
CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.- Connect CONSULT-II, and select "COMB SW" on "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
- Select "DATA MONITOR".
- Select "START", and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.
Example: When auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in System 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, turn ON-OFF normally.
Without CONSULT-II
Operate combination switch, and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.
Example: When auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in System 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, operate normally.
Check results
- Other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.: Replace lighting switch or wiper switch.
- Other switches in malfunctioning system do not operate normally. : GO TO 3.
- HARNESS INSPECTION
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect BCM and combination switch connectors.
- Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch connector terminals.SUSPECT SYSTEM TERMINAL CONTINUITY

- BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL INSPECTION
- Turn lighting switch and wiper switch to OFF.
- Set wiper dial to position 4.
- Connect BCM and combination switch connectors.
- Turn ignition switch on.
- Check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect malfunctioning system.SUSPECT SYSTEM TERMINAL CONTINUITY
