Daytime Running Lamp Control Unit: Testing and Inspection

Daytime Running Lights Control Unit Input Test

Canada

The DRL indicator light in the gauge assembly will come on when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) with the headlight switch off and the parking brake set. It should go off when you turn on the headlight switch and release the parking brake. If it comes on at any other time, do the control unit input test.

NOTE: When the daytime running lights are on, the high beam indicator will glow at half its normal intensity.

1. Remove the driver's dashboard under cover.




2. Disconnect the 14P connector (A) from the daytime running lights control unit (B).
