Inspection Procedure 3: The back-up lamp do not illuminate normally.


caution Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.


COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If both of the back-up lamp do not illuminate normally, the input signal circuit(s) or the inhibitor switch <CVT>, back-up lamp switch <M/T>, may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Check the operation of the position lamps and the headlamps.


Check that the position lamps and the headlamps illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Check the position lamps and the headlamps (Refer to trouble symptom chart ).

STEP 2. Check the inhibitor switch <CVT> or back-up lamp switch <M/T>.


Check the continuity of the inhibitor switch <CVT> or the back-up lamp switch <M/T>.(GROUP 23A - On-vehicle Service, Inhibitor Switch Continuity Check <CVT>, GROUP 22B - Transmission, Transmission Inspection )

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Replace the inhibitor switch <CVT> or back-up lamp switch <M/T>.

STEP 3. Voltage measurement at the inhibitor switch connector <CVT> or back-up lamp switch connector <M/T>.


(1)Remove the inhibitor switch connector <CVT> or back-up lamp switch connector <M/T>, and measure at the junction block side.
(2)Move the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3)Measure the voltage between the inhibitor switch connector <CVT> or back-up lamp switch connector <M/T> (power supply terminals) and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of open circuit in power supply line between the inhibitor switch connector <CVT> or back-up lamp switch connector <M/T> and the ignition switch (IG1).


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check the bulb of the back-up lamp


Check the bulb of the defective lamp.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Replace the bulb of the defective lamp.

STEP 6. Resistance measurement at the rear combination lamp (back-up lamp) connector


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Check the resistance between the lamp connector and body earth.

  • Measure the resistance between the rear combination lamp (back-up lamp) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check of open circuit in body earth line between rear combination lamp (back-up lamp) connector and body earth.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 8. Check of open circuit in output line between the rear combination lamp (back-up lamp) connector and back-up lamp switch connector.


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 9. Retest the system


Check that the back-up lamp illuminate normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the rear combination lamp assembly.
