Title: LIGHTING (EXT): HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH: INSPECTION; 2019 - 2025 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)
