AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM Switch Lights of Remote Touch Always Illuminate or cannot be Controlled Using Rheostat

DESCRIPTION

Power is supplied to the remote touch illumination when the light control switch is in the tail or head position.

Tech Tips


  • When the remote touch is in self check mode, the switch illumination on the remote touch may remain on.

  • If any illumination controlled by the rheostat switch has a malfunction such as an open circuit, the switch illumination of the remote touch is affected and cannot be controlled by the rheostat switch.

Note

Inspect the fuse for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ILLUMINATION CONTROLLED BY RHEOSTAT SWITCH


    1. Perform the following and check that the illumination controlled by the rheostat switch illuminates properly.


      1. If the vehicle is in a bright area, move it to a dark area.

        Tech Tips

        When the vehicle is in a bright area, the switch illumination may not turn on due to the auto dimmer function.

      2. If the light control switch is in the AUTO position, turn the switch to the tail or head position.

        Tech Tips
