CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Ignition Switch54-8
Inspection Procedure 3
While key hole illumination lamp is illuminated, ignition
key is turned to the ON position but key hole illumination
lamp does not switch off. (However, it switch off after 15
seconds.)
Probable cause
While the key reminder warning buzzer is sounding, the
ignition key is turned to the ON position but the sound
dose not stop. (However, it stops when the driver’s side
door is closed.)
The cause is probably a malfunction of the ignition switch input circuit, ETACS-ECU
or buzzer ECU. Furthermore, if there is a malfunction of a multipurpose fuse, the
cause may also be a short circuit in a harness.

Inspection Procedure 5
The key reminder warning buzzer dose not sound even if
the driver’s side door is opened while the key is still
inserted. (However, the ignition key should be in the OFF
position.)
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the door switch input circuit system, if the
key hole illumination lamp is also faulty. A malfunction of the key reminder switch
input circuit system is also suspected.

Cautions in Handling Headlamp Assembly
Each headlamp assembly has a plastic outer lens on. Observe the do’s and don’ts below when
handling the headlamps.

Do not leave the headlamps lit for longer than 3 minutes with a protective cover on.

Do not mask the outer lens surface by taping or in any other way.

Do not scrub the outer lens surface with a pointed tool.

Use the designated wax remover for cleaning the outer lens surface. Rinse it thoroughly.

Use the designated genuine bulbs.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION POINTS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
The lighting monitor buzzer does not sound even when
the ignition key is removed with the tail lamps or
headlamps ON and the driver’s side door open. [However,
the key reminder warning buzzer sounds when inserting
the key into the ignition key cylinder.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the lighting switch input circuit system or
a malfunction of ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU. When the key reminder warning buzzer
is sounding, the lighting monitor warning buzzer does not sound even if the tail lamps
or headlamps are lit.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
HEADLAMP AIMING
Bring the vehicle in the following conditions before aiming
the headlamp.

Check the tires for inflation pressure. Pump them up if
necessary to the labeled pressure level.

Set the vehicle unladen on a level floor.

Place one person (approximately 55 kg) on the driver’s
seat.
1. Position the tester so that its converging lens faces the
high-beam lamp ( marked) center to center at a distance
of 3 m from each other.
2. Aim the headlamps to appropriate standard values using
the aiming adjustment screw.

Caution:
(1) Perform aiming adjustments, one light at a time,
with the other headlamp disconnected so as not
to be lit unless circumstances compel otherwise.
When reconnecting the headlamps, be careful not
to upset their aim. Do not leave the headlamps
on for any longer than 3 minutes if their outer
lenses are covered with a surface covering
impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lenses by taping or in any
other way.
(3) Aiming adjustment must be completed with the
aiming adjustment screws turned in the tightening
direction.
INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
1. Position the tester so that its light sensor faces each
headlamp center to center at the appropriate distance
shown.
2. Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/minto keep the battery
in the charged condition.
3. Check that the high-beam headlamp intensity at the center
of the high intensity zone satisfies the limit value.
Limit: 15,000 cd or more per headlamp
Caution
(1) Perform intensity measurement, one headlamp at
a time, with the low-beam lamp and the other
headlamp disconnected from the battery unless
circumstances compel otherwise. Do not leave
the headlamps on for any longer than 3 minutes
if their outer lenses are covered with a surface
covering impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lens surfaces by taping
or in any other way.
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Remove the socket cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb, and then
remove the bulb.
Caution
Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands or
dirty gloves. If the surface does become dirty, clean
it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry thoroughly
before installing.
