Headlight Beam Level Control System: Inspection

  1. INSPECT HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ACTUATOR RESISTANCE 
    1. Check that continuity exists between terminal 2 and 5.
    2. Check that resistance exists between terminal, as shown in the chart.
      TERMINAL RESISTANCE

      Terminal Resistance (Ω)
      2 - 1 26 - 30
      2 - 3 26 - 30
      2 - 4 26 - 30
      2 - 6 26 - 30
      5 - 1 26 - 30
      5 - 3 26 - 30
      5 - 4 26 - 30
      5 - 6 26 - 30

      If resistance value is not as specified, replace the actuator.
