INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-208

INSPECTION PROCEDURE N-6: The windshield intermittent wiper volume signal is not received.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input signal circuit is normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The intermittent wiper interval is calculated in
accordance with the input signal from the windshield
intermittent wiper volume. If this signal is abnormal,
the wiper interval can not be adjusted.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Connector check: B-135 column switch
connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 2. Resistance measurement at the B-135
column switch connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

column switch side.

(2) Resistance between B-135 column switch

connector terminal No.6 and body earth

OK: The resistance should rise from 0 to
1 k

Ω when the windshield intermittent

wiper volume is rotated from "Fast" to
"Slow".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Replace the column switch.

Step 3. Connector check: B-133 ETACS-ECU
connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between B-135
column switch connector terminal No.6 to B-133
ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.73.

• Check the input line for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 5. Retest the system.
Check that the windshield intermittent wiper volume
is sending a correct signal.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

use Troubleshooting/inspection Service
Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction

P.00-13

).

NO :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE N-7: The key reminder switch signal is not received.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input signal circuit is normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

Input signal from the key reminder switch is used to
operate the functions below. If the signal is abnormal,
these functions will not work normally.

• Keyless entry system

• Ignition key cylinder illumination lamp

• Room lamp

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the key reminder switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Connector check: B-140 key reminder
switch connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Replace the key reminder switch.

Step 3. Resistance measurement at the B-140 key
reminder switch connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Resistance between B-140 key reminder switch

connector terminal No.4 and body earth

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between B-140
key reminder switch connector terminal No.4 to
the body earth.

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check joint
connector B-25, and repair if necessary.

• Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

Step 5. Connector check: B-133 ETACS-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :
