Toyota Venza: Headlight Solenoid Circuit

Toyota Venza Service Manual / Lighting (ext) / Lighting System / Headlight Solenoid Circuit

DESCRIPTION

for HID Headlight:
When the main body ECU receives a high beam turn on signal, the main body ECU activates the bi-function by controlling the BI-XENON relay. The bi-function increases the upper illumination area of the discharge bulb (low beam) by moving a shade using a solenoid built into the headlight unit.

3.	INSPECT BI-XENON RELAY (BI-XENON)

(a) Remove the BI-XENON relay from the power distributor (engine room junction block assembly).

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
3 - 5	Battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2	Below 1 Ω
3 - 5	Battery voltage not applied between terminals	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE BI-XENON RELAY

4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - BI-XENON RELAY)

(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 2 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V
Relay terminal 5 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

5.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BI-XENON RELAY - HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the A53 headlight assembly LH connector.

(b) Disconnect the A52 headlight assembly RH connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 3 - A53-4	Always	Below 1 Ω
Relay terminal 3 - A52-4	Always	Below 1 Ω
Relay terminal 3 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

6.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BI-XENON RELAY - DRIVER SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK)

(a) Disconnect the 2C main body ECU (driver side junction block assembly) connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Relay terminal 1 - 2C-23	Always	Below 1 Ω
2C-23 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (DRIVER SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
