- Remove the fuse relative to the inoperative headlamp.
- Disconnect the inoperative headlamp bulb connector.
- Connect a DMM from the fuse terminal A in the underhood electrical center
to the bulb connector.
- Measure the resistance of the circuit relative to the inoperative headlamp.
• | RH low beam, circuit 312 |
• | RH high beam, circuit 311 |
• | LH low beam, circuit 712 |
• | LH high beam, circuit 711 |
Is the resistance within specified values?
| 0-2 ohms
