INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-321

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Use the MUT-II/III to confirm a diagnosis
code.

Check that the ETACS-ECU sets a diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Refer to diagnosis code chart

P.00-6

.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

Step 2. Retest the system.

Replace the column switch, and check if the column
switch (windshield wiper washer and rear wiper
washer switch) sends signal.
(1) Replace the column switch.
(2) Check if the column switch (windshield

wiper/washer and rear wiper washer switch)
sends signal.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The procedure is complete.

NO :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE N-7: The windshield intermittent wiper volume signal is not received.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input signal circuit is normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The intermittent wiper interval is calculated in
accordance with the input signal from the windshield
intermittent wiper volume. If this signal is abnormal,
the wiper interval can not be adjusted.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

•

Malfunction of the column switch

•

Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

•

Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Connector check: C-310 column switch
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 2. Measure the resistance at the C-310
column switch connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

column switch side.

(2) Resistance between C-310 column switch

connector terminal No.6 and body earth

OK: The resistance should rise from 0 to
1 k

Ω

when the windshield intermittent

wiper volume is rotated from "Fast" to
"Slow".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Replace the column switch.

Step 3. Connector check: C-219 ETACS-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between C-310
column switch connector terminal No.6 and
C-219 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.66.

•

Check the input line for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 5. Retest the system.

Check that the windshield intermittent wiper volume
is sending a correct signal.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

−

).

NO :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.
