INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

(c) Turn Techstream on.

(d) Select the following menu items: Body Electrical / Main Body / Active Test.

(e) Check that the relay operates.

Main Body:





OK:

Taillight relay operates. (Taillights illuminate.)

OK -- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
NG -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT FUSE (TAIL)

(a) Remove the TAIL fuse from the instrument panel J/B assembly.

(b) Measure the resistance of the fuse.

Standard resistance:

Below 1 Ohms

NG -- REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT TAILLIGHT RELAY

(a) Remove the taillight relay from the instrument panel J/B assembly.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPLACE TAILLIGHT RELAY
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY

(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard voltage:





OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND)
NG -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the IA instrument panel J/B assembly connector.





(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard voltage:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY
