Inspection Procedure 2: None of the high-beam headlamps illuminate.



caution
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
  • When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the ignition key needs to be registered to the ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not registered, the engine cannot be started. Register the encrypted code as described in Immobilizer System - How to Register Key ID .)


COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If both headlamps (high-beam) do not illuminate normally, the headlamp switch input circuit, headlamp relay (HI), or ETACS-ECU may have a problem.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code


Check if diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to .

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list


Use the ETACS-ECU service data to check the signal related to the operation of headlamp function.

Item No.
Item name
Normal condition
Item 341
Head lamp switch
ON
OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to Inspection Procedure 11 "The column switch signal is not received" .

STEP 3. Headlamp relay (HI) check


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Replace the headlamp relay (HI).

STEP 4. Voltage measurement at the headlamp relay (HI) connector


(1)Remove the headlamp relay (HI), and measure at the relay box side.
(2)Measure the voltage between headlamp relay (HI) connector (power supply terminal) and the body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Check of open circuit in HHI line between ETACS-ECU connector and headlamp relay (HI) connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 6. Check of open circuit in power supply line between fusible link and headlamp relay (HI) connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 7. Retest the system


Check that the headlamps (high-beam) illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
