Pic. 19.80. Headlights and front indicators: 1 - multifunction steering column switch (with light and turn switch); 2 - decorative lining of switches; 3 - headlight corrector; 4 - front turn indicator; 5 - cartridge; 6 - lamp; 7 - headlight
Warning. When servicing elements of an additional passive safety system (SRS) Care must be taken to avoid personal injury from unauthorized deployment of airbags.
Removing
- Disconnect the wire from the negative battery terminal.
- Remove the expansion tank of the cooling system (when replacing only the left headlight).
- Remove the multifunction steering column switch (see section «Steering»).
- To remove the headlight range control switch with a screwdriver, remove the switch cover, then disconnect the electrical connector, squeeze the latches and remove the headlight range control.
- Insert a screwdriver, as shown in Figure 19.81, and unscrew the screw securing the front direction indicator. Pulling forward, remove the turn signal and disconnect the electrical connector from it.

- Remove the headlight cover by turning it counterclockwise and disconnect the connectors.
- Loosen the nuts and bolts and remove the headlight.
- Light switch test
- Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity between the connector pins at various positions of the light switch (pic. 19.82).

Checking the headlight relay and taillight relay
- Remove headlight relay, taillight relay and check continuity between relay contacts (pic. 19.83).

Checking the conductivity of the multifunction steering column switch
Note
- *1 means closed contacts when low beam is on (Lower);
- *2 means closed contacts when high beam is on (Upper).
Checking the conductivity of the multifunction steering column switch
- If the conductivity is not as specified, replace the relay.
Checking the headlight range control
- Trust the resistance between the contacts of the headlight range control switch at different switch positions (see table and fig. 19.84).
