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.

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.

  1. Push the switches for the personal lights.

  1. Check that personal lights come on.

    OK:
    Personal lights come on.



NG
Go to step 7
OK


2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  1. Turn the intelligent tester on.

  1. Select the item(s) in the ACTIVE TEST, and check the operation.

3. INSPECT REAR DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY (REAR INTERIOR LIGHT)

  1. E115155E01
    Remove the rear dome light assembly.

  1. 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.

5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU LH - OVERHEAD J/B)

  1. E123248E07
    Disconnect the Q1 main body ECU LH connector.

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

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    Q1-2 (ILE) - Body ground
    Always
    10 to 14 V



NG
Go to step 6
OK

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU LH (COWL SIDE J/B LH)

6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU LH - OVERHEAD J/B)

  1. E123252E06
    Disconnect the Q1 main body ECU LH connector.

  1. Disconnect the R5 overhead J/B connector.

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

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    Q1-2 (ILE) - R5-13 (ILL)
    Always
    Below 1 Ω
    Q1-2 (ILE) - Body ground
    Always
    10 kΩ or higher
