Wiring diagram

Inspection procedure
- Perform active test by intelligent tester (headlight)
- Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the
dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on and press the intelligent
tester main switch on.
- Select the item below in the active test and then
check the relay operation.

Ok:
headlight comes on

- Inspect fuse (head ll, head rl)
- Remove the head ll fuse and head rl fuse from the
engine room no. 2 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuses.
Standard resistance:
below 1

- Inspect headlight relay (marking: head)

- Remove the headlight relay from the engine room no. 2
Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance 

- Inspect bulb (headlight bulb)

- Remove the headlight bulbs (low).
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that
the bulb illuminates.
Ok:
bulb illuminates.

- Check wire harness (main body ecu - battery)

- Disconnect the e15 main body ecu connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 

- Check instrument panel junction block (main body ecu)

- Measure the voltage of the main body ecu.
Standard voltage 

Repair or replace harness and connector (head relay - headlight bulb and
body ground)
- Check wire harness (headlight dimmer switch - main body ecu)

- Disconnect the e17 main body ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e12 headlight dimmer switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side
connectors.
Standard resistance

- Inspect headlight dimmer switch

- Disconnect the e12 headlight dimmer switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
