Montero XLS 4WD V6-3.5L SOHC (2001)
Connectors
CIRCUIT OPERATION
-
If the headlight switch signal from the column switch turns on, the front-ECU makes the headlights illuminate. Whenever the headlights illuminate,
the low-beam lights illuminate due to the headlight dimmer switch automatic resetting function.
-
If the SWS communication line is defective, the low-beam headlights will illuminate by using other signal line (headlight back-up circuit).
NOTE: If only one of the headlights does not illuminate, the light bulb may be burned out or the harness wires between the light and the
front-ECU may be defective. In this case, check the circuit by referring to Headlight.

Malfunction of the column switch (turn-signal light and lighting switch)
