Fail-safe

Not applicable

Possible cause

  • Front combination light (LH) connector or terminal malfunction

  • Electrical supply unit (ESU) connector or terminal malfunction

  • Short to ground in wiring harness between front combination light (LH) terminal B and electrical supply unit (ESU) terminal 4E

  • Front combination light (LH) malfunction

  • Electrical supply unit (ESU) malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

INSPECT FRONT COMBINATION LIGHT (LH) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Switch the ignition off.

  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

  • Disconnect the front combination light (LH) connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 5.

2

INSPECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Disconnect the electrical supply unit (ESU) connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 5.

3

INSPECT HEADLIGHT LO (LH) CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Verify that the front combination light (LH) and electrical supply unit (ESU) connectors are disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between front combination light (LH) terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between front combination light (LH) terminal B and electrical supply unit (ESU) terminal 4E.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 5.

No

Go to the next step.

4

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTIONING LOCATION IS FRONT COMBINATION LIGHT (LH) DEPENDING ON REPEATABILITY
  • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.

  • Connect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

  • Clear the DTC for the electrical supply unit (ESU) using the M-MDS.

    (See CLEARING DTC [ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU)].)

  • Operate the light switch to the HEAD position and the dimmer switch to LO position.

  • Retrieve the electrical supply unit (ESU) DTCs using the M-MDS.

    (See DTC INSPECTION [ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU)].)

  • Is the same DTC displayed?

Yes

Replace the front combination light (LH), then go to the next step.

(See FRONT COMBINATION LIGHT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

No

Go to Step 6.

5

VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
  • Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.

  • Connect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

  • Clear the DTC for the electrical supply unit (ESU) using the M-MDS.

    (See CLEARING DTC [ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU)].)

  • Operate the light switch to the HEAD position and the dimmer switch to LO position.

  • Retrieve the electrical supply unit (ESU) DTCs using the M-MDS.

    (See DTC INSPECTION [ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU)].)

  • Is the same DTC displayed?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

  • If the malfunction recurs, replace the electrical supply unit (ESU).

    (See ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

6

VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?

Yes

Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
