4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT DIMMER RELAY [DIMMER] - MAIN BODY ECU [MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU] AND HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY)

(a) Remove the headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) from the engine room relay block and junction block.

(b) Disconnect the J165 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.

(1) Disconnect the A8 headlight assembly LH connector.

(2) Disconnect the A9 headlight assembly RH connector.

(d) for LED Headlight:

(1) Disconnect the A59 headlight assembly LH connector.

(2) Disconnect the A58 headlight assembly RH connector.

(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

for Halogen Headlight

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 2 - J165-1 (DIM)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 5 - A8-2 (HI)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 2 or J165-1 (DIM) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 5 or A8-2 (HI) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

for LED Headlight

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 2 - J165-1 (DIM)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 5 - A59-1 (HI)	Always	Below 1 Ω
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 2 or J165-1 (DIM) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
Headlight dimmer relay (DIMMER) terminal 5 or A59-1 (HI) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
