INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FUSE (ECU-B, ECU-IG)
(a) Remove the ECU-B fuse from the engine room relay block.
(b) Remove the ECU-IG fuse from the main body ECU.
(c) Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ohms
(d) Reinstall the ECU-B and ECU-IG fuses.
NG -- REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUSE - RUNNING LIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY)




(a) Disconnect the D9 running light relay assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage.
Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the running light relay assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RUNNING LIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY - HEAD LIGHT)




(a) Disconnect the D9 running light relay assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage.
Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the running light relay assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RUNNING LIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY - HEAD LIGHT DIMMER SWITCH)




(a) Disconnect the D9 running light relay assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage.
Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the running light relay assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GENERATOR - RUNNING LIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY)




(a) Disconnect the D9 running light relay assembly connector.
(b) Measure the voltage.
Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the running light relay assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RUNNING LIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY - PARKING BRAKE SWITCH)




(a) Disconnect the D9 running light relay assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the D21 parking brake switch connector.
(c) Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance:





(d) Reconnect the parking brake switch connector.
(e) Reconnect the running light relay assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RUNNING LIGHT RELAY - BODY GROUND)




(a) Disconnect the D9 running light relay assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance:





(c) Reconnect the running light relay assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE RUNNING LIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY
