(1) Close all of the doors.
(2) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(3) Turn the low beam headlights, high beam headlights or front fog lights on.
(4) Turn the power switch off.
(5) Open any door.
(6) Close all of the doors.
(7) Check that all of the lights go off after 30 seconds (delay function).
HINT
Before the lights go off, if the lock button on the key is pushed after all of the doors are locked, all of the lights will go off immediately.
3. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
(a) Turn the light control switch off (w/o DRL OFF switch).
(b) Turn the light control switch to the tail position (w/ DRL OFF switch).
(c) Turn the power switch on (READY).
(d) Release the parking brake.
(e) Check that the daytime running lights come on.
4. HID HEADLIGHT SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
(a) Perform the following diagnosis procedure when both of the following conditions are met: 1) the light control ECU is not visibly damaged, and 2) the light control ECU has been struck but is operating normally. If all of the following diagnosis results are normal, the light control ECU can be reused.
(1) Perform low beam headlight cold starts (10 minutes or more off, then turned on) and hot starts (15 minutes or more on, 1 minute off, then turned on again) several times. Check that the low beam headlights illuminate normally.
(2) For 5 minutes immediately after the lights are started cold (before the lights stabilize), visually check the illumination condition and check that the lights do not flicker or show signs of instability.
(3) Install bulbs that have approximately the same usage time, and illuminate the low beam headlights for approximately 30 seconds. Check that the brightness of the left and right bulbs are approximately the same, and that the illumination is stable.
5. AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
(a) Check the operation of the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light.
(1) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(2) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light comes on.
(3) Press the inner rear view mirror assembly AUTO switch once.
(4) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light goes off.
(5) Press the inner rear view mirror assembly AUTO switch once again.
(6) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light comes on.
HINT
If the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light flashes, turn the power switch off, then turn the power switch on (IG). If the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light flashes continuously, replace the inner rear view mirror assembly.
(b) Check the operation of the automatic high beam indicator light.
(1) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(2) Move the shift lever to any position other than R.
(3) Turn the light control switch to the AUTO position.
(4) Cover the automatic light control sensor to turn the low beam headlights on.
(5) Turn the dimmer switch to the high position.
(6) Check that the automatic high beam indicator comes on.
(c) Check the operation of the automatic high beam function.
(1) At night, when driving the vehicle with the automatic high beam system in standby mode, check that the headlights are changed from low beams to high beams automatically after a short delay when all of the following conditions are met:
* Vehicle speed is more than 34 km/h (21 mph).
* The area in front of the vehicle is dark.
* There are no oncoming vehicles with headlights on.
* There are no preceding vehicles with taillights on.
* There are few street lights along the street ahead.
(2) At night, when driving the vehicle with the high beams turned on by the automatic high beam system, check that the automatic high beam system turns off the high beams and returns to standby mode when any of the following conditions are met:
* Vehicle speed is less than 27 km/h (17 mph).
* The level of ambient light is higher than a specified threshold.
* There are oncoming vehicles with headlights on.
* There are preceding vehicles with taillights on.
* Light from street lights ahead is higher than a specified threshold.
(d) Using the following procedure, the automatic high beam operation can be checked without driving the vehicle.
(1) Connect terminals 4 (CG) and 8 (LVL) of the DLC3 using SST.
SST : 09843-18040
(2) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(3) Disconnect SST within 10 seconds after turning the power switch on (IG).
(4) After more than 1 second and less than 10 seconds, connect terminals 4 (CG) and 8 (LVL) of the DLC3 using SST again.
(5) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light flashes.
(6) Check that the low beams change to high beams, when the surrounding area is dark enough.
(7) Shine a flashlight, white LED or red LED on the camera built into the inner rear view mirror assembly.
(8) Check that the high beams change to low beams.
NOTICE:
The high beams may not change to low beams when the surrounding area is bright or due to on other lighting conditions. Therefore, this function check should not be used as the only method of determining if a malfunction is present (if parts need to be replaced).
6. AFS OPERATION CHECK
(a) Check that the initialization (determination of the initial position) of the leveling motor and swivel motor is performed after the engine is started.
(b) Check that the AFS OFF indicator light in the combination meter assembly comes on for approximately 3 seconds and then goes off when the power switch is turned on (IG).
7. DOOR MIRROR FOOT LIGHT SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
(a) The operation and condition of this control are described below.
HINT
*1: When the lights are on, if the key leaves the actuation areas around the doors, after approximately 3 seconds, the door mirror foot lights fade out.
