SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-273

Inspection Procedure M-2: The low-beam headlamps do not illuminate normally.

CAUTION

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

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the low-beam headlamps do not illuminate, the
headlamp switch input circuit or the front-ECU may
be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Pulse check
Check the input signal from the headlamp switch.

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

Q: Are the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally. :

Go to Step

2.

The ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received. :

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

P.54B-420

."

The headlamp switch signal is not received. :

Refer to inspection procedure Q-6 "The
column switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp
and headlamp washer switch) signal is not
received

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) Remove the front-ECU, and measure at the relay

box side.

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

terminal Nos.3 and 4 body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 4.

Step 4. Check the wiring harness between A-14X
front-ECU connector terminal Nos.3 and 4 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. Retest the system.
Check that the low-beam headlamps illuminate
normally.

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 :

Replace the front-ECU.

Inspection Procedure M-3: The high-beam headlamps do not illuminate normally.

CAUTION

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

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the high-beam headlamps do not illuminate, the
dimmer switch input circuit or the front-ECU may be
defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check that the headlamps operate.
Check that the low-beam headlamps illuminate and
extinguish normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Refer to inspection procedure M-2 "The
low-beam headlamps do not illuminate
normally

P.54B-273

."

Step 2. Pulse check
Check the input signal from the dimmer switch.

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

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Refer to inspection procedure Q-6 "The
column switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp
and headlamp washer switch) signal is not
received

Step 3. Retest the system.
Check that the high-beam headlamps illuminate
normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

Inspection Procedure M-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
normal, the passing switch input signal circuit or the
front-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check that the headlamps operate.
Check that the low-beam and high-beam headlamps
work normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :
