Title: LIGHTING (EXT): LIGHTING SYSTEM (w/ Headlight ECU without AFS): B242E; Open in IG Circuit; 2019 - 2021 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [11/2018 - 12/2021]

DTC

B242E

Open in IG Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The headlight ECU sub-assembly operates using the power source voltage input from the IG terminal and ECUB terminal.

The IG terminal power source voltage is supplied by turning the IG1 NO. 1 relay to ON.

The headlight ECU sub-assembly receives ignition switch ON signals from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication, compares the ignition switch ON signal and the power source voltage supply condition of the IG terminal and monitors the result.

DTC No.
