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 HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ACTUATOR TERMINALS RESISTANCE  .
    HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ACTUATOR TERMINALS 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.

  2. Connector disconnected: 

    INSPECT HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL ECU CIRCUIT 

    Disconnect the connector from the ECU and inspect the connector on the wire harness side, as shown in Fig 2 .
