COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The power supply circuit to the column switch (col-
umn-ECU) may be defective. If the wiring harness of
the battery power supply circuit for the ECU (column
switch terminal No.1) is defective, also check the
power supply circuit to the ignition switch (IG1) (col-
umn switch terminal No.9) and repair if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. ECU check by using the SWS monitor.
Check that the power supply and earth lines to the
ETACS-ECU and the SWS communication lines are
normal.

• Ignition switch: OFF

ECUS TO BE CHECKED

• ETACS ECU

OK: "OK" is displayed on the "ETACS ECU"
menu.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Refer to Inspection Procedure A-3
"Communication with the ETACS-ECU is
not possible

P.54C-36

."

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 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 :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

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

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check interme-
diate connector C-129, 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.

Step 5. Resistance measurement at C-206
column switch connector

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Continuity between C-206 column switch

connector terminal No.4 and body earth

OK: 2

Ω or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Go to Step 6.

Step 6. Check the wiring harness between C-206
column switch connector terminal No.4 and body
earth.

NOTE:

Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check joint
connector C-06, 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

− How to

).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 7. Connector check: C-228 ETACS-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.
