STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT OF DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE
• Disconnect the front combination light connector.
• Turn the headlight switch to the HEADLIGHT (LO) position.
• Measure the voltage at front combination light terminal A (wiring harness-side).
• Is the voltage approx. 12 V?
Yes
Go to Step 6.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT FUSE
• Turn the headlight switch to the OFF position.
• Remove the H/L LO RH 15 A fuse or H/L LO LH 15 A fuse.
• Inspect the fuses.
• Are the fuses normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the fuse.
3
INSPECT HEADLIGHT RELAY
• Inspect the headlight relay. (See RELAY INSPECTION [L3 Turbo].) (See RELAY INSPECTION [MZR-CD 2.2].) (See RELAY INSPECTION [L5].)
• Is the headlight relay normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the headlight relay.
4
INSPECT LIGHT SWITCH
• Inspect the light switch. (See LIGHT SWITCH INSPECTION.)
• Is the light switch normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the light switch. (See LIGHT SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN BATTERY AND DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Inspect for continuity between the following terminals:
― Battery (positive terminal) and headlight relay terminal D.
― H/L LO RH 15 A fuse and front combination light connector terminal A
― H/L LO LH 15 A fuse and front combination light connector terminal A
• Are the wiring harnesses normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the related wiring harness.
6
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE AND GROUND
• Inspect the wiring harness between front combination light connector terminal B and ground for the following:
― Short to power supply
― Open circuit
• Is the wiring harness normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the related wiring harness.
7
VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT OR DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE
• Install the discharge headlight. (previously verified as illuminating normally). (See HEADLIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
• Connect the discharge headlight control module connector.
• Turn the headlight switch to the HEADLIGHT (LO) position.
• Does the headlight (low-beam) illuminate?
Yes
Replace the discharge headlight. (See HEADLIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No
Replace the discharge headlight control module. (See DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
