Display does not Dim when Light Control Switch is Turned ON: Procedure

  1. CONFIRM SYMPTOMS 
    1. Check the symptoms that occur by viewing the display.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      There is a delay until the display dims after the navigation system is activated with the light control switch in the tail or head position. A
      The display dims for a moment and then becomes bright after the navigation system is activated with the light control switch in the tail or head position. B
      When the light control switch is set to the tail or head position, the display dims but does not switch to the night screen. B
      When the light control switch is set to the tail or head position, the display neither dims nor switches to the night screen. C

      HINT: 

      • When the navigation system is activated with the light control switch in the tail or head position, before AVC-LAN communication is established, the multi-display dims the display according to the illumination signal received via a direct line.
      • After AVC-LAN communication is established, the multi-display dims the display according to a dimmer signal sent via AVC-LAN communication.
      • The display and navigation module display switches between the daytime screen and night screen on the multi-display according to the illumination signal input.

    C → See step   10 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ILLUMINATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Disconnect the F37 multi-media module wire connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F37-6 (GND1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F37-4 (ILL) - F37-6 (GND1) Light control switch in tail or head 11 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT MULTI-MEDIA MODULE WIRE 
    1. Disconnect the F37 multi-media module wire connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F37-4 (ILL) - DC1-2 (ILL) Always Below 1 Ω
      F37-6 (GND1) - DC1-13 (GND1) Always Below 1 Ω

    2. Turn the light control switch to the tail position.
    3. Check if "Day mode" on the display adjustment screen is on.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      "Day mode" is on A
      "Day mode" is off B

      *1 Example

    B → See step   5 

    A → TURN "Day Mode" SETTING OFF 

  5. CHECK VEHICLE SIGNAL (ILLUMINATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Enter the "Vehicle Signal Check Mode" screen. Refer to Check Vehicle Signal in Operation Check. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .

    2. Check that the display changes between ON and OFF according to the light control switch operation.

      OK

      Light Control Switch Display
      Tail or on ON
      Off OFF

      HINT: 

      The display is updated once per second. It is normal for the display to lag behind the actual switch operation.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK → See step   7 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ILLUMINATION SIGNAL) 
    1. Disconnect the F30 display and navigation module display connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F30-10 (GND1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F30-12 (ILL+) - F30-10 (GND1) Light control switch in tail or head 11 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   8
