Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK OPERATION OF TURN SIGNAL LIGHT 
    1. When the turn signal light switch is operated, check that the appropriate turn signal light flashes.

      Result 

      SIGNAL LIGHT FLASHES RESULT REFERENCE

      Condition Proceed to
      All lights do not flash A
      Front turn signal light (LH or RH) does not flash B
      Rear turn signal light (LH or RH) does not flash C

    B: Go to step   6 

    C: Go to step   8

  2. INSPECT FUSE (ECU-IG2, HAZ) 
    1. Remove the ECU-IG2 fuse from the instrument panel junction block.
    2. Remove the HAZ fuse from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
    3. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go TO NEXT STEP. 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (BATTERY - TURN SIGNAL FLASHER RELAY) 
    1. Disconnect the IB instrument panel junction block connector.
    2. Remove the turn signal flasher relay from the instrument panel junction block.
    3. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard voltage

    OK: Go TO NEXT STEP. 

  4. INSPECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH 
    1. Remove the headlight dimmer switch.
    2. Inspect the turn signal switch.
    3. Measure the resistance of the switch.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      13 (TR) - 12 (EL) Right Below 1 Ω
      13 (TR) - 12 (EL) Neutral 10 kΩ or higher
      15 (TL) - 12 (EL) Left Below 1 Ω

    1. Remove the turn signal flasher relay.
    2. Disconnect the E15 headlight dimmer switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors and junction block.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Junction block turn signal flasher relay terminal 5 (EL) - E15-15 (TL) Below 1 Ω
      Junction block turn signal flasher relay terminal 5 (EL) or E15-15 (TL) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      Junction block turn signal flasher relay terminal 6 (ER) - E15-13 (TR) Below 1 Ω
      Junction block turn signal flasher relay terminal 6 (ER) or E15-13 (TR) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      E15-12 (EL) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE TURN SIGNAL FLASHER RELAY 

  6. INSPECT FRONT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT 
    1. Remove the front turn signal light.
    2. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2, then check that the light comes on. (See Fig 4).

      OK: Light comes on. 

    NG: REPLACE BULB 

    OK: Go TO NEXT STEP. 

  7. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK - FRONT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT) 
    1. Disconnect the A12 and A24 front turn signal light connectors.
    2. Disconnect the IB instrument panel junction block connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
