Title: LIGHTING (EXT): HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH: INSPECTION; 2019 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [11/2018 -        ]

INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

(a) Inspect the light control switch.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition
*1: w/ DRL OFF Switch

*2: w/Light Control Switch OFF Position

*3: w/ DRL Switch

*3: w/ Automatic Light Control System

If the result is not as specified, replace the turn signal switch.

2 (L_OFF) - 12 (EL)

Light control switch DRL-OFF*1

Light control switch OFF*2

Below 1 Ω

10 (A) - 12 (EL)

Light control switch DRL position*3

Light control switch AUTO position*4

14 (T) - 12 (EL)

Light control switch TAIL position

5 (H) - 12 (EL)

Light control switch HEAD position

*a

Component without harness connected

(Turn Signal Switch)

(b) Inspect the headlight dimmer switch.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition
If the result is not as specified, replace the turn signal switch.

6 (HF) - 12 (EL)

Headlight dimmer switch flash position

Below 1 Ω

1 (HU) - 12 (EL)

Headlight dimmer switch high position

Below 1 Ω

*a

Component without harness connected

(Turn Signal Switch)

(c) Inspect the turn signal light switch.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition
If the result is not as specified, replace the turn signal switch.

9 (TR) - 12 (EL)

Turn signal switch neutral position

10 kΩ or higher

3 (TL) - 12 (EL)

9 (TR) - 12 (EL)

Turn signal switch right turn position

(self cancel condition)

Below 1 Ω

9 (TR) - 12 (EL)

Turn signal switch right turn position

(cancel ratchet operation condition)

Below 1 Ω

9 (TR) - 11 (CR)

11 (CR) - 12 (EL)

3 (TL) - 12 (EL)

Turn signal switch left turn position

(self cancel condition)

Below 1 Ω

3 (TL) - 12 (EL)

Turn signal switch left turn position

(cancel ratchet operation condition)

Below 1 Ω

3 (TL) - 11 (CR)

11 (CR) - 12 (EL)

HINT:

  • The self cancel condition indicates when the turn signal switch returns to the neutral position after releasing your hand from the switch (switch is operated within 6.3°).
  • The cancel ratchet operation condition indicates the condition when the turn signal switch does not return to the neutral position even after releasing your hand (switch operation is 10.5°).

*a

Component without harness connected

(Turn Signal Switch)

(d) Inspect the fog light switch.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition
If the result is not as specified, replace the turn signal switch.

4 (BFG) - 12 (EL)

Fog light switch off

10 kΩ or higher

Fog light switch on

Below 1 Ω

*a

Component without harness connected

(Turn Signal Switch)
