Circuit operation
Headlights (with airbag)
Battery voltage is applied to the light switch through "HEAD" fuse, R wire and HEADLIGHT relay. In the "HEAD"
position of the light switch and the "HL" position of the dimmer switch, The relay routes GND through the light
switch terminal B(W/L) of E-01 through headlight switch and B wire and is energized.Battery voltage also is
applied to the LO beam filaments of the right and left headlight through the light switch, "HEAD LOW" fuse and
R/L wire.The headlight LO beams illuminate.
With the dimmer switch in the "HU" position, Battery voltage also is applied to the beam indicator and the HI
bean filaments of the right and left headlight through the light switch, "HEAD (HI)" fuse and R wire. The
headlight HI beams and HI beam indicators illuminate. When the flash-to -pass switch is activated, battery
voltage is applied to the beam indicators and the HI beam filaments of the right and left headlight through the
"HEAD" fuse, R wire, flash-to-pass switch, R wire and "HEAD HI" fuse. The headlight HI beams and HI beam
indicators illuminate. The beam indicators illuminate when the dimmer switch is in "HIGH" position or the flash-
to-pass switch is activated.
Headlights (Without airbag)
Battery voltage is applied to the light switch through "HEAD" fuse, and R wire. In the "HAED" position of the
light switch and the "HL" position of the dimmer switch, Battery voltage also is applied to the LO beam filaments
of the right and left headlight through the light switch, "HEAD LOW" fuse and R/L wire. The headlight LO
beams illuminate.
With the dimmer switch in the "HU" position, Battery voltage also is applied to the beam indicator and the HI
beam filaments of the right and left headlight through the light switch, "HEAD HI" fuse and R wire. The
headlight HI beams and HI beam indicators illuminate.
When the flash-to-pass switch is activated, battery voltage is applied to the HI beam indicators and the HI
beam filaments of the right and left headlight through the "HEAD" fuse, R wire, flash-to-pass switch, R wire and
"HEAD HI" fuse. The headlight HI beams and HI beam indicators illuminate. The HI beam indicators illuminate
when the dimmer switch is in "HIGH" position or the flash-to-pass switch is activated.
