Description
The main body ecu controls the front fog light relay (marking: fr fog) when a
signal is received from
the headlight dimmer switch.
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:
front fog light comes on.

- Check taillight
- Check that the taillight comes on when the light control
switch is on (tail).
Ok:
taillight comes on.

- Inspect fuse (fr fog)
- Remove the fr fog fuse from the instrument panel
junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuses.
Standard resistance:
below 1 

- Inspect fog light bulb

- Remove the fog light bulb.
- 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.

- Inspect front fog light relay (marking: fr fog)

- Remove the front fog light relay from the no. 6 Relay
block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance 

- Check wire harness (battery - main body ecu)

- Disconnect the e17 ecu connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 

- Check wire harness (front fog light relay - battery)

- Remove the front fog light relay from the no. 6 Relay
block.
- Measure the voltage of the relay block.
Standard voltage 

- Check wire harness (front fog light relay - front fog light and body
ground)

- Remove the front fog light relay from the no. 6 Relay
block.
- Disconnect the a11 and a28 front fog light connectors.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side
connectors.
Standard resistance 

Replace instrument panel junction block (main body ecu)
- Check wire harness (dimmer switch - main body ecu and body ground)

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

- Inspect fog light switch

- Remove the headlight dimmer switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance 

Repair or replace harness and connector (headlight dimmer switch - body
ground)
