Headlights rotate hi to low to daylight to off

PAWEL IS A BOT. HE POSTS GENERIC ANSWERS. AND OVERLAYS NAME OF YOUR CAR. 82 GENRIC ANSWERS HIM
AND LIES ABOUT IGN SWITCH.
NOW YOUR CAR.! FACTS, ONLY, 1 CAR
LEARN TO USE THE DMM , CORRECTLY;
HEAD LAMPS ON.(SWITCH) NO KEY IS NEEDED FOR HL.
IS DRIVER LEFT OR RIGHT,? IN USA LEFT.
IS HIGH AND LOW BEAMS DEAD LEFT? No TOLD AT ALL.
PUT METER BLACK LEAD TO THE BATTERY NEG LUG
THEN PROBE RED TO ALL WIRES OF DEAD LAMP 1 BY 1.
12VDC IS GOOD 0 BAD
IF LAMP GROUND PIN READS 12VDC <<< GROUND FAILS.

LEFT LAMP USES GROUND LUG G101. IF R

CAR HAS DRL. SO DRL AND MANUAL LAMPS FAIL
HIGH , LOW , AND FLASH HIGH>? NOT TOLD
DOES ENGINE RUN? OMG NOT TOLD.
THIS CAR RUN HL RELAYS BY BCM CONTROLLER BRAIN


FUSE ARE ON THE OUTPUT OF ALL HL RELAYS
SO IF ALL FUSES INPUT(TOP) ARE DEAD,THAT MEANS
BCM IS FAILING. OR THE SWITCH TO IT.
OR FUSES BLOW TO BCM
WE SCAN THE PCM/BCM TO SE WHY.


HEAD LAMPS ON THE 4 FUSES ALL 4 RIGHT SIDE ARE
12VDC, IF NOT BCM IS MESSED UP, OR RELAY DEAD.
HE LOW BEAM RELAY RUNS BOTH SIDE
SAME WITH BEAM. A RELAY FOR IT.
DRL HOT ONLY IN DRL MODE.
DRL; HAS A SUN SENSOR (AUTO MODE)


BOTTOM HERE IS HEAD LAMPS.SIDE.

HEAD LAMPS ON USA WORK EVEN KEYOFF
SO DOES BCM TO DO THAT, MAIN BATTERY NOT DEAD

First make sure replacement bulb is installed in correct position ? some can be installed and will aim light beam hi or low ! most lamp replacements need no adjustments after replacing bulb

That piece you think is a ceramic DRL module is a resistor , When in DRL mode voltage to the low beam headlamps circuit goes through that resistor dimming the headlamps from low beam to daytime running lamps . It sounds to me like you need a new resistor ,but without doing some electrical testing it could be a lot of things . The DRL relay in the under hood fuse box could have a problem , could be the BCM - body control module , the ambient light sensor etc... Here is how daytime running lamps work .
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes to the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal it will either turn on the daytime running lights (DRL) or the headlights. Any function or condition that turns on the headlights will cancel the daytime running lamps operation. With the headlight switch in the OFF position, the headlights will either be turned ON or OFF, after an approximate 30 second delay depending on whether daylight or low light conditions are sensed. The HTR A/C IGN fuse in the underhood junction block supplies ignition positive voltage to the daytime running lamp (DRL) relay coil circuit. The DRL relay switch contacts are connected to the low beam circuit. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the BCM will either turn on or off the daytime running lamps, depending on whether daylight or low light conditions are sensed. The BCM energizes the DRL relay, closing the switch contacts and grounding the low beam circuit. Ground is provided at G101. The DRL illuminate the low beam headlights at a reduced intensity. The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the ON position, the gear selector is not in the PARK position and the parking brake is released. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.

Wahoo do is pop the hood, and there should be two-three screws around the headlamp assembly. These adjust the light directions. But you'll need to pull the vehicle away from a solid wall by about ten feet I think it is, and mark off a little area to adjust the lights at the correct level. You will be able to find this at you
ocal auto parts store. I usually go to Advance Auto, or Auto Zone. They have the little kit that helps you get all the marks on the surface you are using.

Symptoms point to the cluster microprocessor. How was it proven? See diagram below.

Since you've eliminated the headlight itself as the source of the malfunction, the problem is most likely the headlight bulb connector - the female connection inside the connector to the hi beam is good, but the connector supplying power to the low beam is bad. Your fix is to replace the headlight connector.
How: buy a replacement headlight connector at your favorite auto parts store, cut off the old connector, then (a) solder and heat-shrink or (b) wire nut and E-tape, or (c) crimp connector the new headlight connector onto the existing wiring (being careful to route the conductors to the correct wires on the connector).
Your cost: about $3 for a new connector

Hi,

Replacing a headlight on a Toyota Matrix is a simple process that only requires the use of a screwdriver and a replacement bulb. The Matrix uses 9006 bulbs for the low beams and 9005 bulbs for the high beams. Headlight bulbs can be purchased at auto parts stores.
Replacing Low Beam Bulb

1. Turn off the engine of the Matrix and open the hood
2. Rotate the bulb base in the headlamp assembly counterclockwise to remove the low beam bulb. Unplug the electrical connector. If the connector is too tight, wiggle it slightly to help remove it.
3. Install a new bulb into the connector and place it into the assembly. Rotate it clockwise to lock it into place. Close the hood.

Replacing High Beam Bulb

1. Turn off the engine of the Matrix and open the hood. If replacing the left-hand headlight, remove the air cleaner duct by removing the securing clip with a screwdriver and pulling the duct out of the vehicle.
2. Turn the bulb base counterclockwise to remove it. Unplug the electrical connector.
3. Install a new bulb into the connector and place the bulb into the assembly. Rotate it clockwise to lock it into place. Reattach the air cleaner duct if replacing the left-hand headlight. Close the hood

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

The Module for the DRL is most likely bad, the DRL Module is squarish in shape and Black in color and would be located in the fuse area or in the engine compartment. Just pull it straight out and purchase another one and re-install. Buying new low-beam lights will not solve the problem, because if your low-beams work when you turn on your headlights than it is not your bulbs. The DRL Module uses your low beam lights, but at a lower intensity than when it is normally on, so if your low beams work when you turn on the headlight switch than your DRL Module is bad.

The light sensor to control the automatic headlamps is located on the dashboard. This sensor is suppose to activate running and headlamps. I would suspect the problem is a relay to operate the headlamps if the car uses a seperate relay in the automatic mode. I'm assuming the headlamps work in manual on/off. FYI... The auto mode does not control the fog lamps.

I was able to locate an owners manual for the vehicle. The large plastic weatherguard protecting the headlight bulb connections needs to be rotated CCW about 90 degrees, and removed to provide access to the bulbs. Then remove the center connection for the low beam and release the spring clip retainer to release the low beam bulb. Replace with new bulb and reconnect/reinstall retainer clip, center connector wire, and weatherguard. Note that this is the procedure for the Turbo Baja...non-Turbo model is different.
