NOTE: Use a digital multimeter to make all electrical measurements.


PINPOINT TEST O: HEADLIGHT CORRECTION DOES NOT WORK/INCORRECTLY



STATES

DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS

O1: IDENTIFY THE STATE IN WHICH THE FAULT IS APPEARING.

1 Drive the ON position.

2 Turn the light switch to "DOWN LIGHT".

3 Adjust the headlight range adjustment.

• Are both headlights not adjustable?

Yes

Go to O6

No

Left headlight not adjustable: Go to O2

Right headlight not adjustable: Go to O4

O2: INSPECT LEFT HEADLIGHT CORRECTION CONTROL CIRCUIT

1 Enter the OFF position.

2 Disconnect Headlight, left side - C835.

3 Drive the ON position.

4 Turn the light switch to "DOWN LIGHT".

5 Measure the voltage between pin 2 of C835 left headlight circuit 64-LE45 (blue), on the wiring harness side, and "weight".

• Is voltage being registered?

Yes

Go to O3

No

REPAIR open circuit 64-LE45 (blue) between connection S106 and the left headlight using the wiring diagrams. Check the correct operation of the system.

O3: INSPECT ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS TO HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT MOTOR, LEFT

1 Enter the OFF position.

2 Measure the resistance of all circuits between the headlight beam leveling motor connector C840, harness side, and the corresponding left headlight pin, C835, component side.

• Is the resistance less than 2 ohms in each case?

Yes

Check the headlight beam leveling motor for mechanical damage. If necessary, INSTALL the new element. Check the correct operation of the system.

No

REPAIR the relevant circuit using the wiring diagrams. Check the correct operation of the system.

O4: INSPECT HEADLIGHT CORRECTION CONTROL CIRCUIT RIGHT SIDE

1 Enter the OFF position.

2 Disconnect Headlight, right side - C834.

3 Drive the ON position.

4 Turn the light switch to "DOWN LIGHT".

5 Measure voltage between C834 right headlight pin 2, circuit 64-LE46 (blue/red), on the wiring harness side, and "weight".

• Is voltage being registered?

Yes

Go to O5

No

REPAIR open circuit 64-LE46 (blue/red) between connection S106 and the right headlight using the wiring diagrams. Check the correct operation of the system.

O5: INSPECT ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT MOTOR, RIGHT SIDE

1 Enter the OFF position.

2 Measure the resistance of all circuits between the headlight beam leveling motor connector C841, harness side, and the corresponding right headlight pin, C834, component side.

• Is the resistance less than 2 ohms in each case?

Yes

Check the headlight beam leveling motor for mechanical damage. If necessary, INSTALL the new element. Check the correct operation of the system.

No

REPAIR the relevant circuit using the wiring diagrams. Check the correct operation of the system.

O6: INSPECT MAIN CONTROL CIRCUIT TO HEADLIGHT CORRECTION MOTORS

1 Enter the OFF position.

2 Disconnect Headlight, left side - C835.

3 Disconnect the Light Switch - C320.

4 Measure the resistance between pin 1 C320 of the lighting switch, circuit 64-LE1 (blue/red), from the side of the wiring harness, and pin 2 C835 of the left headlight, circuit 64-LE45 (blue), from the wiring harness side.

• Is the resistance less than 2 ohms?

Yes

Go to O7

No

REPAIR open circuit 64-LE1 (blue/red) between the light switch and connection S106 using the wiring diagrams. Check the correct operation of the system.

O7: CHECK LIGHT SWITCH GROUND

1 Connect Headlight, left side - C835.

2 Connect the Light Switch - C320.

3 Drive the ON position.

4 Turn the light switch to "FRONT FOG LIGHTS".

5 Check the front fog light warning light built into the light switch.

• Is the indicator lamp on?

Yes

Check the light switch If necessary, INSTALL a new element. Check the correct operation of the system.

No

REPAIR open circuit 31-LE29 (BK) between light switch and "weight" G14 using the wiring diagrams. Check the correct operation of the system.
