Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Light Sensor Illuminance Light control sensor illuminance 0 to 8191 lx Value is output according to ambient light level - Body Electrical > Main Body > Data List
Tester Display Light Sensor Illuminance OK
Normal condition listed above is displayed.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - 08/2016] Refer to REMOVAL [08/2016 - 08/2019]
Result:
NG
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) - AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR)
- Disconnect the K3 automatic light control sensor connector.
- Disconnect the J8 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the chart below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J8-21 (CLTE) - K3-2 (CLTE) Always Below 1 Ω J8-20 (CLTS) - K3-4 (CLTS) Always Below 1 Ω J8-19 (CLTB) - K3-1 (CLTB) Always Below 1 Ω J8-21 (CLTE) or K3-2 (CLTE) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher J8-20 (CLTS) or K3-4 (CLTS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher J8-19 (CLTB) or K3-1 (CLTB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- INSPECT MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)
- Reconnect the J8 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
*a Component with harness connected
(Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU)) - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the chart below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J8-19 (CLTB) - J8-21 (CLTE) Engine switch off Below 1 V Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - 08/2016] Refer to REMOVAL [08/2016 - 08/2019]
Result:
OK
See step 4
- Reconnect the J8 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
- INSPECT AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR
- Reconnect the K3 automatic light control sensor connector.
*a Component with harness connected
(Automatic Light Control Sensor) - Connect an oscilloscope to the automatic light control sensor connector.
- Check the waveform.
OK
Tester Connection Tool Setting Condition Specified Condition K3-2 (CLTE) - K3-4 (CLTS) 2 V/DIV., 10 ms./DIV. Engine switch on (IG), light control switch in AUTO position Correct waveform is as shown HINT:
The communication waveform changes according to the surrounding brightness.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU). Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - 08/2016] Refer to REMOVAL [08/2016 - 08/2019]
Result:
NG
REPLACE AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - 08/2016] Refer to REMOVAL [08/2016 - 08/2019]
- Reconnect the K3 automatic light control sensor connector.
