Title: LIGHTING (EXT): HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH: INSPECTION (2008 Sequoia)

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Check the resistance of 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

12 (EL) - 18 (T)

TAIL

Below 1 Ω

12 (EL) - 18 (T)

HEAD

Below 1 Ω

12 (EL) - 20 (H)

HEAD

Below 1 Ω

12 (EL) - 19 (A)

AUTO

Below 1 Ω

If the result is not as specified, replace the headlight dimmer switch.

(b) Check the resistance of 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

11 (HU) - 12 (EL)

FLASH

Below 1 Ω

17 (HF) - 12 (EL)

FLASH

Below 1 Ω

16 (HL) - 12 (EL)

LOW BEAM

Below 1 Ω

11 (HU) - 12 (EL)
