Light Control Switch Circuit: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the tester on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Body / Data List /
- According to the display on tester, read the "Data List".
Body (Main Body ECU)
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note High Flasher SW Passing light switch signal / ON or OFF ON: Headlight dimmer switch is in FLASH (PASS) position
OFF: Headlight dimmer switch is not in FLASH (PASS) position- Dimmer SW Dimmer switch signal/ON or OFF ON: Dimmer switch is ON (High Beam) or High flasher switch is ON
OFF: Dimmer switch is OFF (Low Beam) or High flasher switch is OFF- Head Light SW Headlight control switch signal / ON or OFF ON: Light control switch is in HEAD position
OFF: Light control switch is not in HEAD position- Tail Light SW Taillight switch signal / ON or OFF ON: Light control switch is in TAIL or HEAD position
OFF: Light control switch is in OFF position- OK
Condition information can be displayed.

- INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Remove the headlight dimmer switch assembly.
- Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.
- Light Control Switch:
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 14 (T) - 16 (EL) OFF 10 kΩ or higher 13 (H) - 16 (EL) 14 (T) - 16 (EL) TAIL Below 1 Ω 13 (H) - 16 (EL) 10 kΩ or higher 14 (T) - 16 (EL) HEAD Below 1 Ω 13 (H) - 16 (EL) Below 1 Ω - Headlight Dimmer Switch Switch:
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 7 (HU) - 16 (EL) HIGH BEAM Below 1 Ω 17 (HL) - 16 (EL) LOW BEAM Below 1 Ω 7 (HU) - 8 (HF) - 16 (EL) FLASH Below 1 Ω
- Light Control Switch:
- Reinstall the headlight dimmer switch assembly.
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH - MAIN BODY ECU)
- Disconnect the E8 main body ECU connector.
- Disconnect the E20 headlight dimmer switch assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E20-8 (HF) - E8-7 (HF) Always Below 1 Ω E20-8 (HF) or E8-7 (HF) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E20-14 (T) - E8-8 (TAIL) Always Below 1 Ω E20-14 (T) or E8-8 (TAIL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E20-13 (H) - E8-1 (HEAD) Always Below 1 Ω E20-13 (H) or E8-1 (HEAD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E20-7 (HU) - E8-2 (HU)* Always Below 1 Ω E20-7 (HU) or E8-2 (HU)* - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E20-16 (EL) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω HINT:
*: w/ Daytime running light system
- Reconnect the main body ECU connector.
- Reconnect the headlight dimmer switch assembly connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH - HEADLIGHT*)
HINT:
*: w/o Daytime running light system
- Disconnect the E20 headlight dimmer switch assembly connector.
- Disconnect the A23 and A24 headlight connectors.
- Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E20-17 (HL) - A23-1 Always Below 1 Ω E20-17 (HL) - A24-1 Always Below 1 Ω E20-7 (HU) - A23-2 Always Below 1 Ω E20-7 (HU) - A24-2 Always Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the headlight dimmer switch assembly connector.
- Reconnect the headlight connectors.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 7
