4. Is the measured resistance within the specification? 

YES  

Go to step 2. 

NO  

Replacing the light bulb with `light bulb for test', if normal operating condition is confirmed, 
Replace `light bulb for test' with `new light bulb' and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR". 

2. Check FAM 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF".  

3. Check if DTC is erased after replacing FAM with "FAM for test".  

4. Is the DTC erased? 

YES  

Replace "FAM for test" with "new FAM" and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR". 

NO  

Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, 
or damage. Repair or replace if necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure. 

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

Refer to DTC B2119.
