INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR (OPERATION)

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).

Turn the intelligent tester main switch on.

Select the "DATA LIST" on the intelligent tester.

DATA LIST: Body (Main Body ECU RH)
ItemMeasurement Item / Display (Range)Normal Condition
Illumination Rate InfoIllumination information / 10 to 99.99 ms0.8 to 22 ms

The value of the illumination rate should change in the following range when light shines on the automatic light control sensor or when the automatic light control sensor is covered.

  • OK:
  • 0.8 to 22 ms
  • HINT:
  • This is the time taken for the automatic light control sensor to generate one cycle of frequency according to the brightness.
OK
REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU RH (COWL SIDE J/B RH)

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU RH - AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR)
Dtc B1244  Light Sensor Circuit Malfunction. LIGHTING. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the J74 main body ECU RH connector.

Disconnect the K1 automatic light control sensor connector.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    J74-6 (CLTB) - K1-6 (CLTB)AlwaysBelow 1 Ω
    J74-5 (CLTS) - K1-5 (CLTS)AlwaysBelow 1 Ω
    J74-4 (CLTE) - K1-3 (CLTE)AlwaysBelow 1 Ω
    J74-6 (CLTB) - Body groundAlways10 kΩ or higher
    J74-5 (CLTS) - Body groundAlways10 kΩ or higher
    J74-4 (CLTE) - Body groundAlways10 kΩ or higher

Connect the 2 connectors.

NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK
3.CHECK AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR

Disconnect the automatic light control sensor.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    K1-3 (CLTE) - Body groundAlwaysBelow 1 Ω

Connect the voltmeter's positive (+) lead to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3.

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

  • Standard voltage:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    K1-3 (CLTE) - K1-6 (CLTB)Engine switch on (IG)10 to 14 V

Connect the K1 automatic light control sensor connector.
