Headlight Beam Level Control ECU Communication Circuit: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FRONT CONTROLLER - HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect connector 1H from the front controller.
    2. Disconnect the headlight beam level control ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A21-7 - 1H-11 Always Below 1 Ω
      A21-7 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the headlight beam level control ECU connector and the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A21-6 - A34-39 Always Below 1 Ω
      A21-5 - A34-40 Always Below 1 Ω
      A21-6 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A21-5 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect connector B6 of the generator and connector A21 of the headlight beam level control ECU.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B6-4 (L) - A21-8 (CHG-) Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → PROCEED TO  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
