Headlight (HI-BEAM) Circuit

Circuit diagnosis

DESCRIPTION

The front controller receives headlight HI switch information from the combination switch, and turns on the headlights.
BI-function:
This function is activated by a HI beam turn ON signal from the front controller and activates the headlight solenoid built into the headlight unit to slide the shade down.
When the LO beam headlight is switched on, the upper illumination area of the discharge bulb is blocked by the shade and only the lower illumination area is used. When the HI beam is turned on, the headlight solenoid slides the shutter down to allow use of the upper illumination area, thus increasing the illumination area and improving visibility when the HI beam is on.

      Below 1 Ω
      2G-13 or B12-2 (HI) - Body ground
      Always
      10 kΩ or higher
      B12-1 (E) - Body ground
      Always
      Below 1 Ω

  1. E113123E11
    Check the wire harness between the headlight (RH) and engine room No. 2 relay block, and headlight (RH) and body ground.
    1. Disconnect the 2G relay block connector.

    2. Disconnect the B2 headlight (RH) connector.

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

      Standard resistance:
      Tester Connection
      Condition
      Specified Condition
      2G-12 - B2-2 (HI)
      Always
      Below 1 Ω
      2G-12 or B2-2 (HI) - Body ground
      Always
      10 kΩ or higher
      B2-1 (E) - Body ground
      Always
      Below 1 Ω
