SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-136

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Pulse check
Check the input signal from the tail lamp switch.

OK: The M.U.T.-III sounds or the voltmeter
needle fluctuates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally. :

Go to Step

2.

The ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received. :

Refer to Inspection Procedure N-2 "The
ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received

P.54B-202

."

The tail lamp switch signal is not received. :

Refer

to Inspection Procedure N-4 "The column
switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp) signal
is not received

P.54B-206

."

Step 2. Connector check: B-134 ETACS-ECU
connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 3. Voltage measurement at B-134
ETACS-ECU connector.

(1) Remove the ETACS-ECU, and measure at the

junction block side.

(2) Voltage between B-134 ETACS-ECU connector

terminal No.16 and body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between B-134
ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.16 and the
fusible link (1).

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check junction
block connector B-108, and repair if necessary.

• Check the power supply line for open circuit.

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 :

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 5. Retest the system.
Check that the tail lamps illuminate normally.

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.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-138

INSPECTION PROCEDURE J-2: The low-beam headlamps do not illuminate normally.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the low-beam headlamps do not illuminate, the
headlamp switch input circuit, the headlamp relay
(LO) or the ETACS-ECU may be defective. If the
SWS monitor ECU check shows "NG", also check
the headlamp backup circuit (from column switch
connector terminal No.10 to ETACS-ECU connector
terminal No.60) and repair if necessary.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the headlamp relay (LO)

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

Step 2. Connector check: B-123 headlamp relay
(LO) connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 3. Check the headlamp relay (LO).
Refer to GROUP 54A

− Headlamp
