    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2019 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS 
    1. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List and check that the value of Light Sensor Illuminance changes while performing the following:
      1. Cover the automatic light control sensor with an opaque object.
      2. Slowly move the opaque object to uncover and then cover the automatic light control sensor.

        Body Electrical > Main Body > Data List 

        Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
        Light Sensor Illuminance Automatic light control sensor illuminance 0 to 8191 or SensorFail Value is output according to ambient light level The displayed value is "0" when no light is detected.

        Body Electrical > Main Body > Data List 

        Tester Display
        Light Sensor Illuminance

        OK

        The value changes according to the amount the automatic light control sensor is covered.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2023 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR - MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)) 
    1. Disconnect the G5 automatic light control sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the H135 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G5-1 (CLTB) - H135-8 (CLTB) Always Below 1 Ω
      G5-4 (CLTS) - H135-20 (CLTS) Always Below 1 Ω
      G5-2 (CLTE) - H135-21 (CLTE) Always Below 1 Ω
      G5-1 (CLTB) or H135-8 (CLTB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      G5-4 (CLTS) or H135-20 (CLTS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      G5-2 (CLTE) or H135-21 (CLTE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5
