2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
3. Press the parking brake pedal.
4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC B1078 indicated?

Is the information indicator ON?

NO - Go to relay control module input test. Relay Control Module Input Test

9. Check for continuity between the No. 3 terminal of the headlight 3P connectors and the No. 7 (right headlight) or No. 8 (left headlight) terminals of the under-hood fuse/relay box connector H (18P).

Is there continuity?
