LIGHTING SYSTEM FAIL-SAFE CHART
HID HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Headlight Light Control ECU Sub-assembly
The headlight light control ECU sub-assembly stops illuminating the HID headlights when any of the following abnormalities are detected.
Condition
Content
Open in output side circuit
Stops illuminating the headlights.
Keeps the headlights off until the power is reinstated (by turning the light control switch from off to the head position).
Short between output terminals
Stops illuminating the headlights.
Keeps the headlights off until the power is reinstated (by turning the light control switch from off to the head position).
Leak between output terminal and body ground
Stops illuminating the headlights.
Keeps the headlights off until the power is reinstated (by turning the light control switch from off to the head position).
Excessively low output voltage
Stops illuminating the headlights when the output voltage becomes too low (31 +/- 3 V or less).
Keeps the headlights off until the power is reinstated (by turning the light control switch from off to the head position).
Excessively high output voltage
Stops illuminating the headlights when the output voltage becomes too high (69 +/- 4 V or more).
Keeps the headlights off until the power is reinstated (by turning the light control switch from off to the head position).
Excessively high input voltage
Stops illuminating the headlights when the input voltage becomes too high (20 +/- 3 V or more).
Illuminates the headlights again when the voltage returns to the operating voltage range (10 to 16 V).
Low input voltage
Stops illuminating the headlights when the input voltage becomes too low (below 6 V).
Illuminates the headlights again when the voltage returns to the operating voltage range (10 to 16 V).
AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) detects a malfunction in the automatic light control sensor, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) performs fail-safe control to prohibit the automatic light control. If the low beam headlights and taillights are on, the lights will remain on until the light control switch is turned off.
