Signal missing

Checking the component and wiring
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that the communication between the right-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) and the central electronic module (CEM) is interrupted. This may be due to a fault in the cable between the control modules or a defective communication device in one or both of the control modules.
Check the cable between the right and left-hand gas discharge lamp modules (GDL). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Right-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) terminal #A11 and left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) terminal #A12.
Check the cable between the central electronic module (CEM) and the left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) connector terminal #G26 (#26) and left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) terminal #A12.
Also check that the fuse for the headlamp is intact. Replace the fuse if necessary.
