Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Headlight (hi-beam) circuit
Description
The body ecu controls the headlight relay, no. 2 Daytime running light relay (marking: drl no. 2) And no. 4 Daytime running light relay (marking: drl no. 4).
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Perform active test by intelligent tester
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the on position and press the intelligent tester main switch on.
- Select the item below in the active test and then check the relay operation.
Ok: headlight (high) comes on.
- Check headlight (low)
- Check that the headlight (low) comes on when the light control switch is on (head).
Ok: headlight (low) comes on.
- Inspect fuse (head lh, head rh)
- Remove the head lh fuse and head rh fuse from the engine room no. 2 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuses.
Standard resistance:
below 1 
- Inspect daytime running light relay (marking: drl no. 2, Drl no. 3, Drl no. 4)
- Remove the no. 2 Relay, no. 3 Relay and no. 4 Relay from the engine room no. 2 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relays.
Standard resistance:
No. 2, No. 4 
No. 3 
- Inspect headlight bulb (high)
- Remove the headlight bulb (high).
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that the bulb illuminates.
- Check wire harness (main body ecu - battery)
- Disconnect the e16 main body ecu connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance 
Replace instrument panel junction block (main body ecu)
- Check wire harness (main body ecu - dimmer switch)
- Disconnect the e15 main body ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e12 headlight dimmer switch connector.
- Disconnect the ij instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
- Inspect headlight dimmer switch
- Remove the headlight dimmer switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
