Test No. 5

NOTE: Test procedure is based on assumption that headlights operate properly using headlight switch, but will not operate with anti-theft system. Headlight relay may also be referred to as headlight control relay.

  1. Check Voltage At Terminal No. 10 At Anti-Theft System Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

    Remove glove compartment door for access to anti-theft system ECU. Anti-theft system ECU is located near passenger's side of instrument panel, behind glove box, just above kick panel and uses a 12-pin electrical connector and a 22-pin electrical connector. See Figure.
  2. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect electrical connectors at anti-theft system ECU. Using voltmeter, check voltage between ground and terminal No. 10 (Red/Black wire). See Fig 1. This is the Red/Black wire between headlight relay and anti-theft system ECU. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  3. Voltage should be 10-14 volts. If voltage is not within specification, go to next step. If voltage is within specification, replace anti-theft system ECU. See ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ECU  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  4. Check for defective connectors and Red/Black wire between anti-theft system ECU and headlight relay. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Headlight relay is located engine compartment fuse/relay box located just in front of driver's side strut tower. Repair connectors or wiring as necessary. If necessary to check headlight relay, see HEADLIGHT RELAY  under COMPONENT TESTS.
