NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be
sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System
Diagnosis Test Mode A (see page 22-93).
1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and then back to ON (II).
3. Turn the combination light (headlight) switch ON.
4. Change the dimmer switch from low beam to high beam.
5. Turn the combination light switch OFF, and then to the passing position, and wait for at least 6 seconds.
6. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Go to step 7.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time. Check for loose or poor connections.
7. Select LIGHTING from the BODY ELECTRICAL system select menu, then enter DATA LIST.
8. Check each combination light switch position value with the DATA LIST menu.
Data List Value
Headlight Switch (PASSING) ON
Headlight Switch (High beam) OFF
Data List Value
Headlight Switch (PASSING) OFF
Headlight Switch (High beam) ON
Headlight Switch (HEADLIGHT) ON
Faulty MICU; replace the under-dash fuse/
relay box (see page 22-66).
Go to step 9. 9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
10. Disconnect the combination light switch 12P connector.
11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
12. Select LIGHTING from the BODY ELECTRICAL system select menu, then enter DATA LIST.
13. Check each combination light switch position value with the DATA LIST menu.

NOTE:
 The MICU turns on the headlights (high beams) in a dimming mode for the Daytime Running Lights under the following conditions:
– With the ignition switch turned to ON (II)
– The headlight switch OFF
– The parking brake is released (parking brake switch OFF)
 The DRL indicator will come on when one of the headlight (high beams) bulbs is blown, or if the high beam wiring has an open circuit with the daytime running lights ON.
 If the vehicle is equipped with an optional remote control engine start system, the daytime running lights will not function when started with the remote start.
1. Before testing the lighting system, troubleshoot the system using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see page 22-93).
2. Check the No. 12 (10 A), No. 13 (10 A), No. 15 (7.5 A), No. 16 (15 A) , (10 A) , No. 17 (15 A) , (10 A) , No. 18 (20 A), No. 19 (15 A), No. 21 (30 A) , (20 A) , and No. 37 (7.5 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If any fuse
is blown, replace it and go to step 3.
1: With HID
2: Without HID
3. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, F, G, S, and T. NOTE: All connector views are shown from wire side of female terminals.

Headlights become very hot during use; do not
touch them or any attaching hardware immediately
after they have been turned off.
Before adjusting the headlights:  Park the vehicle on a level surface.
 Make sure the tire pressures are correct.
 The driver or someone who weighs the same should sit in the driver’s seat.
1. Clean the outer lens so that you can see the center (A) of the headlights. 2. Park the vehicle in front of a wall or a screen (A).
3. Turn the low beams on.
4. Determine if the headlights are aimed properly.
Vertical adjustment:
Measure the height of the headlights (A).
Adjust the cut line (B) to the lights height.

3: TYPE S and ’08 Premium and ’09 models
At the initial stage of the self-diagnostic function, the beep sounds intermittently, the beeper sounds continuously
when any of the following switch inputs are switched from OFF to ON:
Cruise control main, dash lights brightness controller volume ( ), ( ) button, mph km/h switch, parking brake switch,
SEL/RESET switch, SET, RESUME, CANCEL switches, and VSA OFF switch . : ’07 TYPE S and ’08-09 models
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the beeper sounds five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, all the segments blink five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the tachometer needle sweeps from the minimum position to maximum
position, then returns to the minimum position.
NOTE:
After the beeper stops sounding and the gauge needle returns to the minimum position, pushing the SEL/RESET
switch starts the Beeper Drive Circuit Check (one beep) and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check again.
The check cannot be started again until the gauge needle returns to the minimum position.
If the needle fails to sweep, or the beeper does not sound, replace the gauge control module (tach).

The entire display must be black. This diagnostic screen
checks for pixels that may be stuck (on). If pixels are
stuck on, replace the navigation unit.
The chart below shows the colors being used for the
various screens. This is for factory use only. To check
the color signal use the RGB test. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust the
monitor position. This is for factory use only. The
Default button will reset the display position to factory
specifications. The factory default is 0, 0. The H-POS
button is for factory use only.
The panel touch sensing system consists of a touch
sensitive resistive membrane covering the display.
Contrary to other systems using infrared beams, the
screen has to be physically touched to make it work.
The display has the capability of 479 touch locations
(left to right), and 233 touch locations (top to bottom).
The upper left hand corner is position (0, 0) and the
lower right hand corner is (479, 233) as displayed.
Touching anywhere on the screen displays the
coordinate of the location, and a icon appears where
you touched the screen. If any area of the screen either
doesn’t respond, or responds at some other location
when touched, then replace the navigation unit.
NOTE: Unlike earlier screens that used infrared sensors,
direct sunlight will not affect this test.
