STEP 12. Check the wiring harness between fog light (LH) 
connector A-41 or fog light (RH) connector A-51 (terminal 
1) and ground.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector A-46 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector. If intermediate connector A-46 is damaged, repair or 
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness 
Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

• Check the ground wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between fog light (LH) connector 

A-41 or fog light (RH) connector A-51 (terminal 1) and 
ground in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 13.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that 
the front fog lights illuminate normally.

STEP 13. Retest the system.
Q: Does the fog lights illuminate in good condition?

YES : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer 

to GROUP 00, How to use 
Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15

).

NO :  Replace the ETACS-ECU.

Inspection Procedure 2: One of the front fog lights does not illuminate.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
input and output signal circuits are normal.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

When one of the fog lights does not illuminate, the wiring har-
ness connector(s), the bulb may be defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Burned-out fog light bulb

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB992006: Extra fine probe

• MB991223: Harness set

STEP 1. Check fog light (LH) connector A-41, fog light (RH) 
A-51 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or 
terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is fog light (LH) connector A-41, fog light (RH) A-51 in 

good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 2. Check the fog light bulb.
(1) Remove the fog light bulb.
(2) Verify that the fog light bulb is not damaged or burned out.
Q: Is the fog light bulb in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the fog light bulb. Verify that the fog lights 

illuminate normally.

Step 3. Check the ground circuit to the fog light (LH) or fog 
light (RH). Measure the resistance at fog light (LH) 
connector A-41 or fog light (RH) connector A-51.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring 

harness side.

(2) Check the resistance between the fog light connector and 

ground.

• Resistance between A-41 fog light (LH) connector termi-

nal No.1 and ground

• Resistance between A-51 front fog light (RH) connector 

terminal No.1 and ground

OK: The resistance should be 2 

Ω or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 

Ω or less?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between fog light (LH) 
connector A-41 or fog light (RH) connector A-51 (terminal 
1) and ground.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector A-46 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector. If intermediate connector A-46 is damaged, repair or 
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness 
Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

• Check the ground wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between fog light (LH) connector 

A-41 or fog light (RH) connector A-51 (terminal 1) and 
ground in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check fog light relay connector A-14X for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Is fog light relay connector A-14X in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts.
