    No  Replace the combination switch (light). Refer to LIGHTING SYSTEM>COMBINATION SWITCH (LIGHT) .

  8. CHECK HARNESS. 
    1. Disconnect the connector of body integrated unit.
    2. Check the harness between body integrated unit and combination switch (light).

    Is harness normal?

    Yes  Check the body integrated unit and replace it if defective.

    No  Repair or replace the harness.

  9. CHECK HARNESS. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
