Component Tests and General Diagnostics
I = Er(2) Where:- I = intensity (cd)
- E = illumination (lux)
- r = distance (m) from headlights to illuminometer
Using a photometer, and following its manufacturer's instruction manual, measure the headlight intensity and check to be sure that the limit value is satisfied.
Limit: 20,000 cd or more
NOTE: When measuring the intensity, maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min, with the battery fully charged. There may be special local regulations pertaining to headlight intensity. Be sure to make any adjustments necessary to satisfy such regulations.
If an illuminometer is used to make the measurements, convert its values to photometer values by using the above formula.
