SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
THE LIGHT REMINDER WA RNING DOES NOT SOUND
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001697705
Light reminder warning does not sound even though headlamp is illuminated.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001697706
1.CHECK COMBINATION SWITCH (L IGHTING SWITCH) OPERATION
Check that the headlamps operate normally by operat ing the combination switch (lighting switch).
Do they operate normally?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Refer to EXL-4, "
Work Flow".
2.CHECK FRONT DOOR SWITCH LH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform inspection of the front door sw itch LH signal circuit. Refer to DLK-67, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK FRONT DOOR SWITCH LH
Perform a unit inspection for the front door switch LH. Refer to DLK-67, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace the BCM. Refer to BCS-55, "Removal and Installation".
NO >> Replace the front door switch LH.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (IPDM E/R)
Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000004874864
AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper arms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actua ted, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-67, "
Descrip-
tion".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (IPDM E/R)
Concept of auto active test
• IPDM E/R starts the auto active test with the door switch signals transmitted by BCM via CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, the CAN communication line between IPDM E/R and BCM is considered normal if the auto
active test starts successfully.
• The auto active test facilitates troubleshooting if any systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated.
Diagnosis chart in auto active test mode
3 Tail, license and parking lamps 10 seconds
4 Front fog lamps 10 seconds
5 Headlamps LO for 10 seconds → HI on-off for 5 seconds
6 A/C compressor (magnet clutch) ON ⇔ OFF 5 times
7 Cooling fan 10 seconds
