STEP 4. Check the battery power supply circuit to the
headlight relay (LOW). Measure the voltage at headlight
relay (LOW) connector A-28X.

The top and bottom of the headlight relay (LOW) are difficult
to identify. Prior to inspection, confirm the triangle mark on
the relay box.

(1)

Disconnect  headlight  relay  (LOW)  connector  A-28X  and
measure the voltage available at the relay box side of the
connector.

Relay box side: A-28X

(2)

Measure the voltage between terminal 4 and ground.

｠

The  voltage  should  measure  approximately  12  volts
(battery positive voltage).

Q:Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery

positive voltage)?

YES:

 Go to Step 5.

NO:

 Go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-312 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.

Q:Is ETACS-ECU connector C-312 in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 6.

NO:

 Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between headlight relay
(LOW) connector A-28X (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU
connector C-312 (terminal 6).

｠

Check the ground wires for open circuit.

Q:Is  the  wiring  harness  between  headlight  relay  (LOW)

connector A-28X (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU connector

C-312 (terminal 6) in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 8.

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 low-beam headlights
illuminate normally.

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between headlight relay
(LOW) connector A-28X (terminal 4) and the fusible link (36).

｠

Check the power supply line for open circuit.

Q:Is  the  wiring  harness  between  headlight  relay  (LOW)

connector A-28X (terminal 4) and fusible link (36) in good

condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 8.

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 low-beam headlights
illuminate normally.

STEP 8. Check the column switch (switch body).
Refer to GROUP 54Ah - Inspection P.54Ah-9.

Q:Is the column switch (switch body) in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 9.

NO:

 Replace the column switch. Verify that the low-beam

headlights illuminate normally.

STEP 9. Retest the system

Q:Does the headlights (low-beam) do not 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: Headlights (high-beam) do not illuminate.

M15410900097USA0000010000

Whenever  the  ECU  is  replaced,  ensure  that  the
power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the
communication circuit are normal.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If  both  headlights  (high-beam)  do  not  illuminate
normally, the headlight switch input circuit, headlight
relay (HIGH), or ETACS-ECU may have a problem.

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition  switch  to  the  "LOCK"  (OFF)  position  before
connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

(1)

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan
too (M.U.T.-III) P.54Ac-11."

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)

Check whether the ETACS-ECU related DTC is set.

(4)

Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q:Is the DTC set?

YES:

 Diagnose the ETACS-ECU. Refer to GROUP 54Ad,

Diagnosis P.54Ad-8.

NO:

 Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check headlight relay (HIGH) connector A-20X for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed
back in the connector.

Q:Is  headlight  relay  (HIGH)  connector  A-20X  in  good

condition?
