DESCRIPTION
The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) controls the high beam headlights.
When the high beams are turned on, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) activates the headlight solenoid built into the headlight unit to increases the upper illumination area of the discharge bulb.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
CHECK OPERATION (LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS)
Check the operation of the low beam headlights.
| OK |
|---|
| Low beam headlights operate normally. |
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Body / Main Body / Active Test.
Check that the high beam headlights illuminate.
| Tester Display | Test Part | Control Range | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head Light Hi | High beam headlights | ON/OFF | - |
| OK |
|---|
| High beam headlights illuminate. |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHORT IN RELAY-DRIVEN CIRCUIT)
When a short circuit occurs between the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly) and high beam headlight bulb, a fail-safe function operates to stop the high beam headlights operation.
Remove the H-LP RH HI fuse from the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly).
Turn the light control switch to the head position and turn the dimmer switch to the high position.
Check if the high beam headlight LH illuminates.
Turn the dimmer switch to the low position.
Install the H-LP RH HI fuse and remove the H-LP LH HI fuse.
Turn the dimmer switch to the high position.
Check if the high beam headlight RH illuminates.
| OK |
|---|
| Either high beam headlight LH or RH illuminates. |
INSPECT POWER DISTRIBUTOR (ENGINE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
Remove the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly) from the engine room relay block (Click here).
Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3A-1.
Connect a negative (-) lead from the battery to terminal 3C-5 and 3C-17.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

| *1 | Component without harness connected (Power Distributor (Engine Room Junction Block Assembly)) |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER DISTRIBUTOR - INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
Disconnect the 3C power distributor (engine room junction block assembly) connector.
Disconnect the 2F instrument panel junction block assembly connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | |||||||||

| *2 | Front view of wire harness connector (to Instrument Panel Junction Block Assembly) |
INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
Remove the instrument panel junction block assembly.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | |||||||||
