PINPOINT TEST B : ONE OR MORE PARKING LAMPS, REAR LAMPS OR LICENSE PLATE LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE |
TEST CONDITIONS | DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS |
B1: DETERMINE THE FAULT CONDITION |
| 1 A failure of the license plate lamps is not necessarily caused by an electrical defect. Due to a high level of heat emitted from the bulb in the – license plate lamp, the gasket for the – license plate lamp may become deformed or melt. If there is a problem, a comprehensive visual inspection of the license plate lamp or the tailgate handle should first be performed, looking in particular for any traces of corrosion caused by the penetration of water. |
