YES: Go to Step 34.
NO: Repair or replace the damaged components). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Verify that the license plate light (RH) illuminates normally.
STEP 34. Check the license plate light bulb (RH).
1. Remove the license plate light bulb (RH).
2. Verify that the license plate light bulb (RH) is not damaged or burned out.
Q: Is the license plate light bulb (RH) in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 35.
NO: Replace the license plate light bulb (RH). Verify that the license plate light (RH) illuminates normally.
STEP 35. Check the ground circuit to the license plate light (RH). Measure the resistance at license plate light (RH) connector F-10.
1. Disconnect license plate light (RH) connector F-10 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 37.
NO: Go to Step 36.
STEP 36. Check the wiring harness between license plate light (RH) connector F-10 (terminal 1) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 1).
Q: Is the wiring harness between license plate light (RH) connector F-10 (terminal 1) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 1) in good condition?
YES: Replace the license plate light (RH) socket. Verify that the license plate light (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 license plate light (RH) illuminates normally.
STEP 37. Check the wiring harness between license plate light (RH) connector F-10 (terminal 2) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 2).
Q: Is the wiring harness between license plate light (RH) connector F-10 (terminal 2) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 2) in good condition?
YES: Replace the license plate light (RH) socket. Verify that the license plate light (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 license plate light (RH) illuminates normally.
STEP 38. Check rear side marker light (LH) connector F-20 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is rear side marker light (LH) connector F-20 in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 39.
NO: Repair or replace the damaged components). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Verify that the license plate light (LH) illuminates normally.
STEP 39. Check the rear side marker light bulb (LH).
1. Remove the rear side marker light bulb (LH).
2. Verify that the rear side marker light bulb (LH) is not damaged or burned out.
