DTC

B242E

Open in IG Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The headlight ECU sub-assembly operates using the power source voltage input from the IG terminal and ECUB terminal.

The IG terminal power source voltage is supplied by turning the IG1-NO. 1 relay to ON.

The headlight ECU sub-assembly receives power switch on (IG) signals from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication, compares the power switch on (IG) signal and the power source voltage supply condition of the IG terminal and monitors the result.
