NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that the taillights (LH) illuminate normally.




STEP 23. Check rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 24.

NO: Repair or replace the damaged components). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Verify that the taillight (RH) illuminates normally.

STEP 24. Check the stop/taillight bulb (RH).

1. Remove the stop/taillight bulb (RH).
2. Verify that the stop/taillight bulb (RH) is not damaged or burned out.

Q: Is the stop/taillight bulb (RH) in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 25.

NO: Replace the stop/taillight bulb (RH). Verify that the taillight (RH) illuminates normally.

STEP 25. Check the ground circuit to the rear combination light (RH). Measure the resistance at rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08.




1. Disconnect rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 and measure the resistance available at the wiring harness side of the connector.




2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 5 and ground.
- The resistance should equal 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES: Go to Step 27.

NO: Go to Step 26.




STEP 26. Check the wiring harness between rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 (terminal 5) and ground.

Q: Is the wiring harness between rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 (terminal 5) and ground in good condition?

YES: Replace the rear combination light assembly (RH). Verify that the taillight (RH) illuminates normally.

NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that the taillight (RH) illuminates normally.













STEP 27. Check the wiring harness between rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 (terminal 3) and front-ECU connector A-1 OX (terminal 8).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-113 and C-129 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-113 or C-129 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged components) as described in Harness Connector Inspection.

Q: Is the wiring harness between rear combination light assembly (RH) connector F-08 (terminal 3) and front-ECU connector A-1 OX (terminal 8) in good condition?

YES: Replace the rear combination light assembly (RH). Verify that the taillight (RH) illuminates normally.

NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that the taillight (RH) illuminates normally.




STEP 28. Check license plate light (LH) connector F-11 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is license plate light (LH) connector F-11 in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 29.

NO: Repair or replace the damaged components). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Verify that the license plate light (LH) illuminates normally.

STEP 29. Check the license plate light bulb (LH).

1. Remove the license plate light bulb (LH).
2. Verify that the license plate light bulb (LH) is not damaged or burned out.

Q: Is the license plate light bulb (LH) in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 30.

NO: Replace the license plate light bulb (LH). Verify that the license plate light (LH) illuminates normally.

STEP 30. Check the ground circuit to the license plate light (LH). Measure the resistance at license plate light (LH) connector F-11.




1. Disconnect license plate light (LH) connector F-11 and measure the resistance available at the wiring harness side of the connector.




2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 1 and ground.
- The resistance should equal 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES: Go to Step 32.

NO: Go to Step 31.
