Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 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.

    NG: FLOW CHART (GO TO FLOW CHART OF HEADLIGHT OR TAILLIGHT) 

    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 TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLE .

        Standard: 

        TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLE

        Switch operation Tester connection Specified Condition
        OFF - No continuity
        TAIL 14 - 16 Continuity
        HEAD 13 - 16 - 14 Continuity
        AUTO 16 - 12 Continuity

    NG: REPLACE HEADLAMP DIMMER SWITCH ASSY 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. CHECK AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR 
    1. Measure voltage between terminals as shown in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLE .
    2. Check the continuity between terminal 3 (CLTE) and body ground as shown in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLE .
    3. Using an oscilloscope, check that signal waveform appears between terminals.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION TABLE

      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

    NG: REPLACE AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR 

    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 terminals 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 

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: CHECK AND REPLACE MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU
