Interior Light Circuit
Circuit diagnosis
DESCRIPTION
The Interior lights turn on when a door is opened, and turn off when the door is closed. This illumination setting can be canceled using the overhead J/B switch.In addition, the interior lights blink while the theft deterrent system is sounding an alarm.
The turning on and off of the interior lights is controlled by the main body ECU LH based on various signals received through BEAN communication.
The main body ECU LH includes a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor - Field Effect Transistor) circuit that fades the interior lights in and out by duty control.
This MOS-FET circuit has an overheat protection function as fail-safe. If the main body ECU LH becomes excessively hot, the interior lights turn off and remain off.
Normal operation will resume when the conditions required to turn on the interior lights are met again.
If the vehicle is equipped with scuff plate lights, their operation timing is the same as that of the interior lights.
WIRING DIAGRAM


INSPECTION PROCEDURE
| 1. CHECK SEAT ILLUMINATION (OPERATION) |
- HINT:
- The personal lights and interior lights share the same power source. Therefore, if none of them come on, inspect the power source circuit first.
Push the switches for the personal lights.
Check that personal lights come on.
- OK:
- Personal lights come on.
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Select the item(s) in the ACTIVE TEST, and check the operation.
ACTIVE TEST: Body No. 3 (Main body ECU LH) Item

Proceed to
Front interior light does not come on
A
Rear interior light does not come on
B
Neither front nor rear interior light comes on
C
OK
D
- HINT:
- If the rear interior light comes on normally, but the front interior light does not come on, there is an open circuit in the overhead J/B.

| 3. INSPECT REAR DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY (REAR INTERIOR LIGHT) |
Remove the rear dome light assembly.

Connect the (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the (-) lead to terminal 4, and then check that the Interior light comes on.
- OK:
- The interior light comes on.
