Reusing Discharge Headlight Control Module
- A discharge headlight control module damaged in an accident could leak high voltage around the module and cause electrocution. In addition, even if the discharge headlights are illuminated without any exterior damage to the module, an illumination malfunction could occur after a period of time has elapsed due to internal damage of a module. If a discharge headlight control module is reused, perform the following inspection and verify that the module is not malfunctioning.
- Perform the tests for the discharge headlight bulb several times under cold-bulb conditions (turn off the discharge headlight bulb for approx. 10 min or more , then turn it on) and under warm-bulb conditions (turn on the discharge headlight bulb for approx. 15 min or more , turn it off for approx. 1 min , then turn it on again), and verify that the discharge headlight bulb turns on normally.
- Inspect the discharge headlight bulb illumination until it illuminates evenly directly after cold-bulb illumination for approx. 5 min , and verify that the discharge headlight bulb illumination has no flicker or uneven brightness level.
- Equip with normal discharge headlight bulbs and turn them on for approx, 30 min , and verify that the illumination condition is stabilized with no difference in brightness level between left and right.
