INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-2: Central door locking system does not operate even when door lock
switch of power window main switch operated.

CAUTION

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the

power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the
communication circuit are normal.

• 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
Immobilizer System

− How to Register Key ID

.)

OPERATION

The ETACS-ECU controls the central door locking
system, locking or unlocking all the doors by activat-
ing the central door lock relay (built in the
ETACS-ECU). The ETACS-ECU uses input signals
from the door lock switch, which is incorporated in
the power window main switch.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the central door locking system does not work at
all, a malfunction of the door lock switch (built in the
power window main switch) or ETACS-ECU is sus-
pected.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the door lock switch (built in the

power window main switch)

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-4: Selector "P" position-linked door unlock function does not operate.

CAUTION

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the

power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the
communication circuit are normal.

• 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
Immobilizer System

− How to Register Key ID

.)

OPERATION

ETACS-ECU determines whether the shift position is
at "P" or not according to the shift position signal
which is sent by CVT-ECU.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

If the doors are not unlocked when the selector lever
is shifted to the P position, a malfunction of the shift
position signal input circuit(s) or ETACS-ECU is sus-
pected. Also, the selector "P" position-linked door
unlock function may have been "disabled" with the
customisation function.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of CAN bus line

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

• Damaged wiring harness and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Checking central door unlocking
operation.
Check that the central door locking system works
normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Refer to Central Door Locking System
Symptom Chart

P.42A-26

.

STEP 2. Check the customisation function.
Check that "Always (P pos)" is set for "Auto door
unlock by P position" with the customisation function.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Set "Always (P pos)" for "Auto door unlock
by P position" with the customisation
function (Refer to Customisation Function

P.42A-50

).

STEP 3. 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 4.

NO :

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP
54C

− Troubleshooting ).
