Inspection procedure
- Check whether lights illuminate
- Check whether the following lights illuminate: front side marker lights, rear taillights, side marker lights and license plate light.


- Inspect fuse (tail)
- Remove the tail fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.

- Check wire harness (battery - instrument panel junction block)

- Disconnect the ig instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

- Check wire harness (main body ecu - headlight dimmer switch)

- Disconnect the e15 main body ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e12 headlight dimmer switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

- Check wire harness (battery - headlight dimmer switch)

- Connect the e15 main body ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e12 headlight dimmer switch connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

- Check wire harness (headlight dimmer switch - body ground)

- Disconnect the e12 headlight dimmer switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

- Inspect headlight dimmer switch

- Remove the headlight dimmer switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.

Replace instrument panel junction block
- Check instrument panel junction block (taillight relay)

- Disconnect the ib instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the voltage of the junction block.

- Check wire harness (taillight relay - front side marker light and body ground)

- Disconnect the a12 and a24 front side marker light connectors.
- Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
