The transistor which activates the taillight relay has 2 sorts: one activates directly by the headlight switch for fail safe and the other activates by ECU. The one that activates by the ECU has 2 systems and prevents the headlight from turning off at the time of one system trouble in the automatic operation circuit. See Fig 1.
