Inspection procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

INSPECT RELAY

Yes

Install the relays, then go to the next step.

(See RELAY LOCATION.)

No

Replace the malfunctioning relay.

(See RELAY LOCATION.)

2

INSPECT LIGHT SWITCH

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the light switch.

(See LIGHT SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

3

INSPECT DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR
  • Disconnect the discharge headlight control module connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector.

4

INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the discharge headlight control module connector is disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between discharge headlight control module terminal C (wiring harness-side) and body ground.

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between discharge headlight control module terminal C and body ground.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

5

INSPECT DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the discharge headlight control module connector is disconnected.

  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

  • Turn the light switch to the HEAD position.

  • Measure the voltage at discharge headlight control module terminal B (wiring harness-side).

  • Is the voltage B+?

Yes

Turn the light switch to the OFF position, then go to the next step.

No

Inspect the HID L 15 A fuse and HID R 15 A fuse.

  • If the fuse is burnt out:

    • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between HID L 15 A fuse or HID R 15 A fuse and discharge headlight control module terminal B.

      • If there is a common connector:
      • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

        If there is no common connector:
      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

      • Replace the fuse.

  • If the fuse is damaged:

    • Replace the fuse.

  • If the fuse is normal:

    • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between battery positive terminal and discharge headlight control module terminal B.

      • If there is a common connector:
      • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

        If there is no common connector:
      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

6

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS HEADLIGHT HI/LO BULB OR DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE

Yes

Replace the headlight HI/LO bulb.

(See HEADLIGHT BULB REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

No

Replace the discharge headlight control module.

(See DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
