LIGHTING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1244

DTC Code DTC Name
B1244 Light Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The automatic light control sensor detects ambient light, converts it into an electrical signal and outputs it to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) turns the headlights and taillights on or off according to the signal.

The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) outputs DTC B1244.
