INSPECTION PROCEDURE H-8: Headlamp and Taillamp: The High-beam indicator lamp does not
illuminate.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
At the same time that the high beams are illumi-
nated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate
the high beam indicator via the CAN bus line.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the high beam indicator does not illuminate nor-
mally, connector(s), wiring harness in the CAN bus
lines, the ETACS-ECU or the combination meter may
be defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The combination meter may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective
