Step 2. Function diagnosis by using the SWS
monitor
Check the SWS communication signal, which are
related to the high-beam headlamps.

<Selected item> LIGHTING - HEADLAMP HI

• Ignition switch: ON

• Lighting switch: HEAD

• Dimmer switch: from OFF to ON, and then to

OFF again

OK: Normal conditions are displayed for all
the items

Q: Are the check results normal?

Normal conditions are displayed for all the items. :

Go to Step 3.

Normal condition is not displayed for item Nos.00,
02 or 03. :

Refer to inspection procedure N-4 "The

column switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp
switch) signal is not received

P.54C-208

."

Normal condition is not displayed for item No.30. :

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

P.54C-203

."

Step 3. Connector check: B-122 headlamp relay
(HI) connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 4. Check the headlamp relay (HI).
Refer to GROUP 54A

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Replace the headlamp relay (HI).

Step 5. Voltage measurement at B-122 headlamp
relay (HI) connector.

(1) Remove the headlamp relay (HI), and measure at

the junction block side.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Go to Step 6.

Step 6. Check the wiring harness between B-122
headlamp relay (HI) connector terminal Nos.1, 3
and the fusible link (1).

NOTE:

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

• Check the power supply line from the fusible link

(1) 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

).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 7. Connector check: B-134 ETACS-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 8. Retest the system.
Check that the low-beam headlamps illuminate nor-
mally.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) USING SWS MONITOR

54C-146

INSPECTION PROCEDURE J-4: The high-beam and low-beam headlamps do not illuminate when the
passing switch is operated.

CAUTION

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

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the low-beam and high-beam headlamps are nor-
mal, the passing switch input signal circuit or the
ETACS-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check the operation of the headlamps.
Check that the low-beam and high-beam headlamps
illuminate normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the headlamps. Refer to trouble
symptom chart

P.54C-29

.

Step 2. SWS monitor data list.
Check the ETACS-ECU signals which are related to
the headlamps.

<Selected item> COLUMN ECU

• Passing lamp switch: ON

OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Refer to inspection procedure N-4 "The
column switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp
switch) signal is not received

P.54C-208

."

Step 3. Retest the system.
When the passing switch is turned on, check if the
headlamps 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
