DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

Diagnosis code 11: Trouble related to the ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

The ETACS-ECU monitors the data, which the ECU
itself sends. If errors occur consecutively 15 times
(for 0.6 seconds), a diagnosis code will be set. Then,
if the data does not contain any errors consecutively
15 times (for 0.6 seconds), the ECU will stop sending
the diagnosis code.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Again check that diagnosis code No.11 is set.

Q: Is diagnosis code No.11 set?

YES :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

NO :

The trouble can be an intermittent
malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-5

).

Diagnosis code 12: Trouble related to the column switch or improper connection to the ETACS-ECU

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
power supply circuit, the earthing circuit and the
communication circuit are normal.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

If the column switch ignores the data request signal
sent by the ETACS-ECU (three times or more for one
second), this diagnosis code will be set. Then, when
the column switch observes the request signal for
one second, the ECU will stop sending the diagnosis
code.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code.
(1) Ignition switch: ON
(2) On completion, check that diagnosis code No.12

is not reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code No.12 set?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

Step 2. Connector check: C-206 column switch
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 3. Voltage measurement at C-206 column
switch connector

(1) Disconnect the column switch connector, and

measure at the wiring harness side.

(2) Voltage between C-206 column switch connector

terminal No.1 and body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Replace the column switch.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between C-206
column switch connector terminal No.1 and the
battery.

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check interme-
diate connector C-129 and joint connector C-05, 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

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-5

).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.
