COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

It is suspected that the power supply circuit to the
front-ECU is defective, or the wiring harness
between the SWS monitor and the front-ECU or their
connector(s) is damaged. If the battery power supply
circuit to the ECU (terminal No.7 of the front-ECU) is
damaged, also check the power supply circuit from
the ignition switch (IG2) (terminal No.30 of the
front-ECU), and repair if necessary.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• 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-63

."

Step 2. Connector check: A-14X front-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 3. Voltage measurement at A-14X front-ECU
connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

relay box side.

(2) Voltage between A-14X front-ECU connector

No.7 and body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between A-14X
front-ECU connector terminal No.7 and the
fusible link (26).

• 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. Connector check: A-15X front-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

Step 6. Resistance measurement at A-15X
front-ECU connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

relay box side.

(2) Resistance between A-15X front-ECU connector

terminal No.31 and body earth

OK: 2

Ω or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9.

NO :

Go to Step 7.

Step 7. Connector check: A-25 earth connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.
