STEP 3. Retest the system.
Check that the electric-folding door mirror timer func-
tion works normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points - How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction .)

NO :

Replace ETACS-ECU.

Inspection Procedure 4: Vehicle speed-dependent unfolding function does not work normally.

CAUTION

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that

the input and output signal circuits are nor-
mal.

• When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without

KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the
ignition key needs to be registered to the
ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not reg-
istered, the engine cannot be started. Regis-
ter the encrypted code as described in
GROUP 54A, Immobilizer System

− How to

Register Key ID )

OPERATION

The ETACS-ECU calculates the intermittent wiper
interval according to the vehicle speed signal which
is sent by the ABS-ECU <Vehicles without ASC> or
ASC-ECU <Vehicles with ASC>.

• Ignition switch (IG1)

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If this function does not work normally, these input
signal circuit(s) or the ETACS-ECU may be defec-
tive. Also, with a customise function, the door mirrors
may be set to a mode in which the vehicle
speed-dependent unfolding function is not activated.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Faulty vehicle speed signal

• The CAN bus line is defective.

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the ETACS customise function.
Use the ETACS customise function to confirm that
"AUTO FOLD MIRROR" is set to "VEHICLE SPEED
DEPENDENT OPEN".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Use the ETACS customise function to set
"AUTO FOLD MIRROR" to "VEHICLE
SPEED DEPENDENT OPEN" (Refer to ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the CAN bus normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the CAN bus line. (Refer to GROUP
54C - Troubleshooting .)

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
Check that the ETACS-ECU sets a diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Diagnose the ETACS.(Refer to GROUP

54A

− ETACS, Diagnosis Code Chart .)

NO :

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check that the ABS-ECU<Vehicles without ASC> or
ASC-ECU <Vehicles with ASC> sets a diagnosis
code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Diagnose the ABS-ECU <Vehicles without

ASC> (Refer to GROUP 35B

− Diagnosis

Code Chart ) or ASC-ECU <Vehicles with
ASC> (Refer to GROUP 35C

− Diagnosis

Code Chart .

NO :

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Retest the system.
Check that the vehicle speed-dependent unfolding
function of the door mirrors works normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points - How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction .)

NO :

Replace ETACS-ECU.

Inspection Procedure 5: Ignition-linked fold/unfold function does not work normally.

CAUTION

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that

the input and output signal circuits are nor-
mal.

• When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without

KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the
ignition key needs to be registered to the
ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not reg-
istered, the engine cannot be started. Regis-
ter the encrypted code as described in

OPERATION

The ETACS-ECU operates this function in accord-
ance with the input signals below.

• Ignition switch (IG1)

• Driver’s door switch

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If this function does not work normally, these input
signal circuit(s) or the ETACS-ECU may be defec-
tive. Also, with the customise function, the door mir-
rors may be set to a mode in which the ignition
interlock fold/unfold function is not activated.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the driver’s door switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the ETACS customise function.
Use the ETACS customise function to confirm that
"AUTO FOLD MIRROR" is set to "IG OPEN OR
CLOSE".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Use the ETACS customise function to set
"AUTO FOLD MIRROR" to "IG OPEN OR
CLOSE" (Refer to ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list

Inspection Procedure 6: Keyless entry system-linked fold/unfold function does not work normally.

CAUTION

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that

the input and output signal circuits are nor-
mal.

• When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without

KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the
ignition key needs to be registered to the
ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not reg-
istered, the engine cannot be started. Regis-
ter the encrypted code as described in
GROUP 54A, Immobilizer System

OPERATION

The ETACS-ECU operates this function in accord-
ance with the keyless entry transmitter input signals.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If this function does not work normally, keyless entry
transmitter input signal circuit or the ETACS-ECU
may be defective. Also, with the customise function,
the door mirrors may be set other than to the keyless
entry interlock fold/unfold function.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Defective keyless entry transmitter

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

"AUTO FOLD MIRROR" is set to "KEYLESS OPEN
OR CLOSE".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Use the ETACS customise function to set
"AUTO FOLD MIRROR" to "KEYLESS
OPEN OR CLOSE" (Refer to ).

STEP 2. Check the keyless entry operation.
Check that the keyless entry system works normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?
