2.	INSPECT TAILLIGHT RELAY (TAIL)

(a) Remove the taillight relay from the main body ECU (driver side 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	Voltage is not applied between terminals 1 and 2	10 kΩ or higher
3 - 5	Apply the battery voltage between terminals 1 and 2	Below 1 Ω
3 - 4	Voltage is not applied between terminals 1 and 2	Below 1 Ω
3 - 4	Apply the battery voltage between terminals 1 and 2	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE TAILLIGHT RELAY

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - MAIN BODY ECU (DRIVER SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)

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

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

Standard Voltage:
