Diagnostic Procedure
Step |
Inspection |
Action |
|
---|---|---|---|
1
|
VISUALLY INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT BULB (LH)
• Visually inspect the back-up light bulb (LH).
• Is the back-up light bulb (LH) normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the back-up light bulb (LH), then go to Step 7.
|
||
2
|
VISUALLY INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT BULB (RH)
• Visually inspect the back-up light bulb (RH).
• Is the back-up light (RH) normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the back-up light bulb (RH), then go to Step 7.
|
||
3
|
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT (LH) CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Switch the ignition off.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Disconnect the back-up light (LH) connector.
• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Is the connector normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
|

4
|
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT (RH) CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Disconnect the back-up light (RH) connector.
• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Is the connector normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
|
||
5
|
INSPECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY UNIT (ESU) CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Disconnect the electrical supply unit (ESU) connector.
• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Is the connector normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
|
||
6
|
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Verify that the back-up light (LH)/(RH) and electrical supply unit (ESU) connectors are disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between electrical supply unit (ESU) terminal 2Q (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
|
Yes
|
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
• Electrical supply unit (ESU) terminal 2Q—Back-up light (LH) terminal A
• Electrical supply unit (ESU) terminal 2Q—Back-up light (RH) terminal A
If there is a common connector:
• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.

|
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
• Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Connect the negative battery cable.
• Clear the DTC for the electrical supply unit (ESU) using the M-MDS.
• Perform the following operation.
• Retrieve the electrical supply unit (ESU) DTCs using the M-MDS.
• Is the same DTC displayed?
|
Yes
|
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
• If the malfunction recurs, replace the electrical supply unit (ESU).
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
