Lexus ES: Display does not Dim when Light Control Switch is Turned ON
DESCRIPTION
When the navigation system is activated with the light control switch in the tail or head position, before AVC-LAN communication is established, the multi-display assembly dims the display according to the illumination signal received via a direct line.
After AVC-LAN communication is established, the multi-display assembly dims the display according to a dimmer signal sent via AVC-LAN communication.
The radio receiver assembly switches between the daytime screen and night screen on the multi-display assembly according to the illumination signal input.

| 2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ILLUMINATION SIGNAL) |
(a) Disconnect the G22 multi-display assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G22-13 (GND1) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G22-2 (ILL) - G22-13 (GND1) | Light control switch in tail or head position | 11 to 14 V |
| OK | | PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE |
