    • : Check the system to which malfunctioning switch belongs, and GO TO 2.
  2. 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.
    1. Connect CONSULT-II, and select "COMB SW" on "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
    2. Select "DATA MONITOR".
    3. 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.
  3. CHECK HARNESS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect BCM connector and combination switch connector.
    3. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch harness connector.

    OK or NG 

    OK : GO TO 4.

    NG : Check harness between BCM and combination switch for open or short circuit.

  4. CHECK BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL 
    1. Turn lighting switch and wiper switch OFF position.
    2. Set wiper dial position 4.
    3. Connect BCM connector and combination switch connector.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON.
    5. Check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect malfunctioning system.
