LIGHTING SYSTEM(w/ Automatic Headlight Beam Level Control System), Diagnostic DTC:B1244

DTC Code DTC Name
B1244 Light Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The automatic light control sensor detects ambient light. The sensor creates an electrical signal based on the amount of light detected, and sends the signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) turns on or off the headlights and taillights according to the signal.
