Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Combination Switch Inspection
- SYSTEM CHECK
Referring to table below, check which system malfunctioning switch belongs to.

- SYSTEM CHECK
With CONSULT-II
CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.- Connect CONSULT-II, and select "COMB SW" on "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
- Select "DATA MONITOR".
- Select "START", and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.
Example: When the auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in system 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, turn ON-OFF normally.
Without CONSULT-II
Operating combination switch, and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.
Example: When the auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that FRONT WIPER LOW and FRONT WIPER INT in system 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, operate normally.
Check results
- Other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally. : Replace lighting switch or wiper switch.
- Other switches in malfunctioning system do not operate normally. : GO TO 3.
- CHECK HARNESS
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect BCM connector and combination switch connector.
- Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch harness connector.CONNECTOR SPECIFICATION
