RJ-1454-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:56

The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) for the headlights may mistake a voltage drop immediately after lighting for a short circuit when an ambient temperature is low, due to a glitch in the program. Also, the ECU may stop supplying power, if a short circuit occurs in the inverter unit inside the ECU due to a defective transducer. As a result of either condition, the headlights may fail to illuminate.
