INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER

INSPECT FUSE (H-LP L LWR, H-LP R LWR)

INSPECT HEAD LP RELAY

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU RH - BATTERY)

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT (LOW LH OR LOW RH) - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT (LOW LH OR LOW RH) - HEAD LP RELAY)

LIGHTING SYSTEM - Headlight Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The headlight relay is turned on by operating the headlight switch.


When the theft deterrent system is activated, it causes the ECU to turn the headlight relay on and off repeatedly at approximately 0.25 second intervals to flash the headlights.


In this condition, if any of the following operations is performed, the ECU turns the headlight relay off to stop the headlight from flashing:


Unlock the driver door with a key.
Turn the engine switch on (ACC or IG).
Unlock the doors with the wireless door lock control system.
