    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Body / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation.

      Body (Body ECU) 

      ACTIVE TEST DETAIL - BODY (BODY ECU)

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range
      Front Fog Light Relay Front fog light relay ON/OFF

      OK: 

      Front fog lights come on. 

    NG: Go to step 2 

    OK : PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

  2. INSPECT RELAY 
    1. Inspect front fog relay continuity.
      1. Remove the front fog relay from the instrument panel J/B.
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard resistance 

        RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher
        3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (When battery voltage is applied to terminal 1 - 2)

    2. Inspect TAIL relay continuity.
      1. Remove the tail relay from the instrument panel J/B.
      2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard resistance 

        RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher
