Title: LIGHTING (EXT): LIGHTING SYSTEM (for HV Model with Cornering Light): B243D,B243E; Left Low Beam Fan Malfunction; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 -        ]

DTC

B243D

Left Low Beam Fan Malfunction

DTC

B243E

Right Low Beam Fan Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The headlight ECU sub-assembly operates the low beam fan to cool the headlight LED unit in order to prevent the headlight LED unit from overheating.

Illuminates the low beam headlights and continuously operates the low beam fan.

The headlight ECU sub-assembly monitors the pulse signals from the FANP terminal when the low beam fans are operating.

HINT:

If B243D or B243E is output, the headlight ECU sub-assembly performs low beam headlight dimming control.

DTC No.
