Headlights and Rear Defogger

Electrical Load Signal Schematic:






The ECU monitors electrical loads from the headlights and rear window defogger. Problems in these systems will set code 62 in the on-board diagnostic system. Refer to the schematic diagram and test the systems with the diagnostic chart.

CHECK VOLTAGE AND RESISTANCE

1. With ignition "OFF," disconnect ECU connector.
2. Turn ignition "ON" and measure voltage between ECU connector terminals and ground as follows:

Connector & terminal: Voltage:
(F120)18-Ground Below 2V (defogger "OFF")
(F120)18-Ground Above 8V (defogger "ON")
(F120)20-Ground Above 8V (headlights "OFF")
(F120)20-Ground Above 8V (headlights "HI")
(F120)21-Ground Above 8V (headlights "OFF")
(F120)21-Ground Above 8V (headlights "LO")

3. With ignition "OFF," measure resistance between ECU connector and ground as follows:

Connector & terminal: Resistance:
(F119)1-Ground Below 10 Ohms
(F120)10-Ground Below 10 Ohms
