The lighting circuits generally use Green wires. Newer 1200 utes differ. The following information is for USA-spec models. Other countries vary slight, see the appropriate Wiring Diagram or click Edit and add the information here.

Overview

The lighting circuits generally use Green wires:

  • G - IG-hot from Fuse Box
  • GY - Brake lights (stop lamps)
  • GL or GW - running lights (parking lights)
  • GB - R.H. Turn Signal + running lights
  • GR - L.H. Turn Signal + running lights

Lighting Switch and Turn signal switch circuits

Dash Lamps

Indicator lamps
* High beam indicator lamp (M.B.) - see Instrument Panel Wiring
* Turn Signal indicator lamps - see below
Warning lamps - see Instrument Panel Wiring
* Brake failure lamp (Japan GL & USA)
* CHG/IGN failure lamp
* Oil pressure indicator lamp

Hazards Wiring

The 4-way Hazards lights are part of the Turn Signal circuit. See #next section.

Park/Tail Circuit

When the Lighting Switch is pulled out one or two stops, these light up:

Power comes from the PT fuse in the Fuse Box, and is supplied to the main Green/Blue wire via the Lighting Switch.

Turn Signals

Also see:
* Turn Signals (include Hazards)
* Flasher unit
* Turn signal switch

The T/S path is as follows:

* 12 volts is provided From the IG side of the Fuse Box
* through the 10A "M" (Meter) terminal via the G (green) wire 
* through the Four-Way Flasher Switch (Hazards Switch). NOTE: non-USA export has no Hazard system
* to the Flasher unit
* through the T/S lever on the steering column
* to the lamp bulbs. There is no relay involved

Near the stalk are the three red Dimmer wires for the Head Lights system. Opposite are the T/S wires (two green plus one white). The last wire (not shown) is the blue wire for the Horn button contact.

USA

USA circuit - has Hazard switch with seperate Hazard Flasher Unit


24405.jpgAlbum 24405
Fig. BE-28 Circuit diagram for turn signal and dimmer switch system


The Hazard switch is normally off and so routes power through G wire to T/S Flasher Unit. This means the T/S Flasher is normally HOT (12V) -- but only if the key is ON. From the T/S Flasher unit the power goes to the T/S Switch on the column. In the center position of course the power stops here. But move the switch to right or left, and the power is fed to the Left or Right circuits to power the exterior bulbs and the the dash bulb. The T/S Flasher Unit causes the power to cycle, resulting in flashing.

Interior Dome Light

Brake lights

Brake lights (STOP lamps) -- thankfully -- are simply connected on the B110. At the rear light boxes, the GY wires connect to the main harness GY circuit. This is connected to the "Stop Lamp Switch" at the brake pedal. The other side of this switch (both are YG wires) is connected to Fuse Box GY wire ("H" terminal 15A always-hot). So brake lights work when key is off.

Instrument panel Brake lamp

The IP brake lamp is not related to the rear brake lamps. Instead it signals if the hand brake is on ("Parking Brake Switch"), or if the master cylinder brake light switch ("Brake System Switch") senses a pressure differential problem.

Reverse Lights

The reverse lamps are simply connected. The Red wire connects to the reverse switch on the side of the transmission. This switch in turn is fed from the G wire at the fuse box ("M" terminal of fuse box -- 10A fuse). It's always in effect, regardless of the Light Switch position. In other words, the Reverse light should work even if the headlights or running lights are off.
