WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM
This system uses the multiplex communication system, so check diagnosis system of the multiplex commu-
nication system before you proceed with troubleshooting.
HINT:
Troubleshooting of the wireless door lock control system is based on the premise that the door lock
control system is operating normally. Accordingly, before troubleshooting the wireless door lock control
system, first make certain that the door lock control system is operating normally.
If the trouble still reappears even though there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, then
check and replace the Wireless Door Lock Control Receiver as the last step.

INSPECTION
1. FAIL±SAFE FUNCTION
(Light Control ECU)
When input error is inspected.
When input voltage is not within the range of operation voltage (9 to 16 V),
lighting of the headlight stops. As soon as the voltage comes within the range,
it lights up again.
However if the input voltage becomes low after lighting up,
sufficient voltage is maintained until light of bulb completely goes off.
When output error is inspected (Open or short).
When light flushing is inspected.
When an error occurs in the output voltage (open or short) or flushing symptom
occurs on the bulb, lighting of the headlight stops, the condition is maintained
until power is turned ON again (headlight dimmer switch OFF " ON).
In this case, it can not be judged whether lighting malfunction is caused by an
output error or other reasons (fuse blown out, etc.).
Check that there is no error in fuse and wiring (including power source) and
replace the bulb in the first place, when the error still appears, replace the light
control ECU.
