Headlights (cars after 08.2001) — diagnostics and checks

            0

Special tool


Digital multimeter 105-R0051 or equivalent
Electrical probe kit 29-011A

Inspection and verification


1. Check the customer's complaint.

2. Perform a visual check for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Table


Electrical factors:
  • Fuse (And)
  • Lamp (s)
  • electrical connector (s)
  • Wiring harness

3. If an obvious cause of the problem you identified or described by the client is found, eliminate it before proceeding to further actions (if possible).

4. If the problem is not visually obvious, check the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

Symptom table


State

Possible Causes

Action

• Lack of communication with the powertrain control module (PCM) - car speed output signal (with xenon headlights)

•Electrical circuit

• Xenon headlight control module / headlight range sensor

•Powertrain control module (PCM)

• If any trouble codes are found (DTC), check the system using WDS and proceed as directed by this instrument. CLEAR fault memory and CHECK system for correct operation.

• Lack of communication with the general electronic modular (GEM) (with xenon headlights)

• Data bus (ISO 9141)

• Xenon headlight control module / headlight range sensor
