STEP 2. Check the key reminder switch.
Disconnect key reminder switch connector C-310. Then check
continuity between terminals.

Q: Is the key reminder switch in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the key reminder switch. If the functions

described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally,
the input signal from the key reminder switch should
be normal.

STEP 3. Check the ground circuit to the key reminder
switch. Measure the resistance at key reminder switch
connector C-310.
(1) Disconnect key reminder switch connector C-310 and

measure the resistance available at the wiring harness side
of the connector.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 4 and

ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between key reminder
switch connector C-310 (terminal 4) and ground.
Q: Is the wiring harness between key reminder switch

connector C-310 (terminal 4) and ground in good
condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. If the
functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work
normally, the input signal from the key reminder
switch should be normal.

STEP 5. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-217 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-217 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT

OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the
key reminder switch should be normal.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between key reminder
switch connector C-310 (terminal 6) and ETACS-ECU
connector C-217 (terminal 30).
Q: Is the wiring harness between key reminder switch

connector C-310 (terminal 6) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-217 (terminal 30) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. If the
functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work
normally, the input signal from the key reminder
switch should be normal.

STEP 7. Check for continuity between key reminder switch
connector C-310 terminal 4 and each of the other terminals
as well as terminal 6 and each of the other terminals.
(1) Disconnect key reminder switch connector C-310 and

measure the resistance available at the equipment side of
the connector.

(2) Check for continuity between key reminder switch

connector C-310 terminal 4 and each of the other terminals
as well as terminal 6 and each of the other terminals.

Q: Does continuity exist between the terminals?

NO : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the functions described

in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input
signal from the key reminder switch should be normal.

YES : Replace the key reminder switch. If the functions

described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally,
the input signal from the key reminder switch should
be normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE N-2: ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from the hazard warning
lamp switch.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The ETACS-ECU operates the following functions or
systems according to signal from the hazard warning
lamp switch:

• Turn-signal lamp buzzer

• Hazard warning lamp

• Keyless entry system (registering the encrypted

code)

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

If the signal is not normal, the equipment or systems
described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" do not work
normally.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

• The hazard warning lamp switch may be defec-

tive

• The wiring harness or connectors may have

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check hazard warning lamp switch connector
C-08 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is hazard warning lamp switch connector C-08 in good

condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. If the equipment described in "CIRCUIT

OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the
hazard warning lamp switch should be normal.
