PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

2.	INSPECT HEADLIGHT RELAY (H-LP LO)

(a) Remove the headlight relay from the engine room relay block, junction block.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
3 - 5	Battery voltage not applied between terminals 1 and 2	10 kΩ or higher
3 - 5	Battery voltage applied between terminals 1 and 2	Below 1 Ω

REPLACE HEADLIGHT RELAY

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - HEADLIGHT RELAY [H-LP LO])

(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Headlight relay terminal 1 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V
Headlight relay terminal 5 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V

4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT RELAY [H-LP LO] - MAIN BODY ECU)

(a) Remove the main body ECU (See page ).

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Headlight relay terminal 2 - A-15 (HRLY)	Always	Below 1 Ω
A-15 (HRLY) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
