SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-162

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The system may be at fail-safe mode as the SWS
communication line is defective. If the front-ECU
does not receive the ignition switch (ACC) signal due
to an open circuit in the SWS communication lines or
other reasons when the ignition switch is at the ACC
position, the system will enter the fail-safe mode.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

•

Malfunction of the column switch

•

Malfunction of the front-ECU

•

Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check the diagnosis code.

When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
(OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU does not
set the diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Refer to diagnosis code chart

P.54B-17

.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

Step 2. Pulse check

Check the input signals below which are related to
the windshield wiper.

OK: The MUT-II/III sounds or the voltmeter
needle fluctuates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally :

Go to Step

3.

The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received. :

Refer to inspection procedure N-1 "The
ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received

P.54B-298

."

Windshield mist wiper switch signal is not
received. :

Refer to inspection procedure N-6 "The

column switch (windshield wiper washer
and rear wiper washer switch) signal is not
