ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT BULB
NOTICE:
Confirm the following items before replacing a discharge headlight bulb. If a malfunction is discovered and repaired, perform the inspection again to confirm the repair.
HINT:
Even if a bulb seems to turn on normally, it may not be normal. Perform all the following steps in order because an abnormal condition might otherwise not be easy to duplicate.
(a) Prepare the vehicle:
Before performing the following inspection procedure, turn off the discharge headlight bulbs for more than 10 minutes to allow them to cool down sufficiently.
HINT:
Since it is necessary to find the cause of a malfunction that causes a discharge headlight bulb not to turn on, the discharge headlight bulbs should be inspected starting from a cooled off state.
(1) Turn on the discharge headlights for more than 25 minutes, and check that the bulbs illuminate normally when they are turned on.
HINT:
(2) Repeatedly turn the discharge headlights off for 15 seconds and on for 15 seconds (5 times for each). Check that the bulbs illuminate normally.
HINT:
This inspection confirms the ability of the bulbs to start when hot.
(3) Turn off the discharge headlights for 3 minutes, and then turn on the discharge headlights for 3 minutes. Check that the bulbs illuminate normally when they are turned on.
HINT:
Standard:
The discharge headlight bulbs illuminate normally in all steps.
(4) Remove the discharge headlight bulb and perform a visual inspection of the arc tube.
Standard:
The inside of the arc tube is not bulging or deformed and is not clouded. However, a dull brown coloration inside the arc tube is normal.
