SOURCE: Daytime Running Lights Inoperative 2002 Toyota Camry

[Information] For a 2002 Toyota Camry, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) operate utilizing the High Beams (inner Lamps closer to the center of the vehicle front) at a reduced power.

[The troubleshooting process:] Review the Owner's Manual and ensure the test configuration matches the following criteria:
1. According to the 2002 Toyota Camry Owner's Manual (Check your Owners Manual):
"The DRL system will make your headlights come on at a reduced brightness when:
The light switch s in the "DRL" position.
The ignition is on with the engine running.
The headlight switch is off.
The parking brake is released."


2. Set the Test Conditions according to Step 1 above.

3. Check the headlight bulbs to ensure they are not burned out. If one burns out, there is a fair chance that the other would have burned out at the same time. Replace as necessary. In this case, if the high beams operate, the DRLs should also operate.
4. Test the system, ensuring the step 1 conditions are set. (Engine running, Multi-function Switch on Turn Signals in "DRL" position, headlight switch off (repeating what the manual says -- it should be obvious that in the "DRL" position, the headlight switch should be off / do not have the switch positioned to "High Beam"), and the Parking Brake "off").
5. If DRL lights do not work, check the engine compartment Fuse and Relay Box. there is a 5 Amp DRL fuse -- replace it with the spare. Test (step 4).
6. If it does not work, swap around or replace relays -- there are three (3). Any one of them could be bad (stuck or burned out). Test (step 4).
7. Other less likely possible issues could be that the Multi-function Switch is broken or a connection / wire is broken. [Beyond the scope of this process.]


My problem was that the test configuration did not have the engine running and parking brake off - Step 1. Problem solved with much thought, repetitive tests on the vehicle and going back to the basics -- what does the Owner's Manual say and where are the applicable fuses and relays located?

I ave a Toyota Camry LE 2005 and want to use LED Headlights with Daytime Running Lights. Wether I use type 9005 or 9006 connector it does not work on DRL. Please help.

The DRL system normally uses the same bulbs as the low beams, during drl operation the voltage is reduced to the bulbs by the drl relay which uses a duty cycle voltage, the LED bulbs will not work on this system, you can use them for high and low beams but drl won't work.

Running headlights not working need solution or is there a switch for lights

Head light have two relays.one for daytime and one for normal night. the daytime switching the light to serial circuit and if one bulb is out down both Leigh quit working. Inspect your light high and low beam for normal operation . Inspect your fuses . Swap the daytime relay with identical one.and under the dash is module for daytime running light. inspect the red/black wire for ground from light switch and light blue/ yellow for power from 15A ECU-B fuse
good luck

1999 Toyota Camry . Low beams work, but no high beam.

I would guess the switch on the steering column
is worn out,thus no high beam feature

That switch & that part of the lighting system has to be tested

Best if you have wiring diagrams & electrical skills

As with almost all folks that come to any web site, I assume
everyone ends up at a repair shop,because no one says otherwise

Only hi beams work ...no low beams . Lamps and fuses are good. Replaced relay, no change. Keep reading about ground wire from lights can not find it

The wiring schematic changes drasticly depending on whether your vehicle is equipped with daytime running lamps or not. However, both systems have one thing in common...the low beams and the high beams get their grounds from the same place. If the high beams are working correctly, the ground is not your problem. The most common causes of low beams not working and high beams working are the multifunction switch (or as Toyota calls it: "Combination Switch") and if your vehicle has daytime running lamps, the Daytime Running Lamp Module could be the problem.

No low or high beams changed light switch and high low beam switch check bulbs and fuses check daytime running module

Check Relay under hood in box mounted behind front left fender. Should be a cover on 8"x6" box, location should be printed under lid on sticker as to which relay.

Drl and high beams dont work

Check the bulbs -- the daytime running lamps use the highbeams on the resistor -- There are two filliments per bulb one high; one low. If both high beam filliments are out nothing will work....replace bulbs if this is the case.
