Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Perform active test by intelligent tester (main body ecu)
- 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 items below in the active test and then check the main body ecu operation.
Ok: light comes on.
- Inspect fuse (dome)
- Remove the dome fuse from the engine room no. 2 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1 
- Inspect room light assembly
- Remove the room light assembly
- Measure the resistance of the room light switch base.
Standard resistance 
- Inspect room light bulb
- Remove the room light assembly.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, then check that the light comes on when the switch is in the door position.
Ok: light comes on.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3, then check that the light comes on when the switch is in the on position.
Ok: light comes on.
- Check harness and connector (battery - room light and main body ecu)
- Disconnect the ik instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage 
- Inspect map light bulb
- Remove the map light assembly.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that the light comes on when the switch is in the door position.
Ok: light comes on.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 7, then check that the light comes on when the switch is in the on position.
Ok: light comes on.
- Inspect map light
- Replace the map light bulb with a normally functioning one or a new one.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that the light comes on when the switch is in the door position.
Ok: light comes on.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 7, then check that the light comes on when the switch is in the on position.
Ok: light comes on.
Replace map light bulb
- Check wire harness (battery - map light and main body ecu)
- Disconnect the ik instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage
- Inspect ignition key cylinder light
- W/ engine immobiliser system
- Remove the transponder key amplifier (ignition key cylinder light).
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 6, then check that the light comes on.
Ok: light comes on.
- W/o engine immobiliser system
- Remove the ignition key cylinder light.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that the light comes on.
Ok: light comes on.
- Check wire harness (battery - main body ecu)
- Disconnect the ie instrument panel junction block connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
