Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check Light 
    1. Check that headlamp and taillight light up.
    1. NG : Flow Chart (Go To Flow Chart Of Headlight Or Taillight) 
    2. OK : Go to Next Step 
  2. Inspect Headlamp Dimmer Switch Assy 
    1. Inspect light control switch continuity.

      1. Check that there is a continuity between terminals at each switch position as shown in the chart.

      Standard: 

      HEADLAMP DIMMER SWITCH CONNECTOR TERMINALS SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

      Switch Operation Tester Connection Specified Condition
      OFF - No continuity
      TAIL 14 - 16 Continuity
      HEAD 13 - 16 - 14 Continuity
      AUTO 16 - 12 Continuity
    1. NG : Replace Headlamp Dimmer Switch Assy 
    2. OK : Go to Next Step 
  3. Check Automatic Light Control Sensor

    1. Measure voltage between terminals as shown in the chart below.
    2. Check the continuity between terminal 3 (CLTE) and body ground as shown in the chart below.
    3. Using an oscilloscope, check that signal waveform appears between terminals.

    Standard: 

    AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR CONNECTOR TERMINALS SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

    Terminal No. (Symbol) Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
    1 (CLTB) 1 - 3 Constant 10 - 14 V
    3 (CLTE) 3 - Body Ground Constant Continuity
    4 (CLTS) 4 - 3 IG SW ON Dimmer SW AUTO Signal waveform appears depending on outside brightness
    1. NG : Replace Automatic Light Control Sensor 
    2. OK : Go to Next Step 
  4. Check Harness And Connector (Between Multiplex Network Body ECU And Automatic Light Control Sensor) 
    1. Check that signal waveform appears between terminal B6-4 (CLTS) and B6-21 (CLTE) of the multiplex network body ECU.

      Standard: Bar appears 

    2. Measure voltage between terminals B6-6 (CLTB) and B6-21 (CLTE) of the multiplex network body ECU.

      Standard: 10-14 V 

    3. Check the continuity between terminal B6-21 (CLTE) of the multiplex network body ECU and body ground.

      Standard: There is continuity 

    1. NG : Repair Or Replace Harness Or Connector 
    2. OK : Check And Replace Multiplex Network Body ECU
