  4. Select the item below in the active test and then check the relay operation.
    Toyota RAV4. Perform active test by intelligent tester

Ok: front fog light comes on.


  1. Check taillight
  2. Check that the taillight comes on when the light control switch is on (tail).
Ok: taillight comes on.


  1. Inspect fuse (fr fog)
  2. Remove the fr fog fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
  3. Measure the resistance of the fuses.
Standard resistance: below 1
