.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the following functions or
systems according to signal from the driver's or front
passenger's door switches:

• Ignition key reminder tone alarm function

• Light reminder tone alarm function

• Power window timer function

• Headlight automatic shutdown function

• Dome light

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the signal is not normal, the functions or systems,
which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", do
not work normally. If the signal is not normal, the
driver's or front passenger's door switch or the
ETACS-ECU may be defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The driver's or front passenger's door switches

may be defective

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

• The wiring harness or connectors may have

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Check the input signal by using the pulse check
mode of the monitor.
Check the input signals from the front door switches.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector

(16-pin).

(2) Operate scan tool MB991502 according to the procedure

below to display "PULSE CHECK."

1. Select "SYSTEM SELECT."
2. Select "SWS."
3. Select "PULSE CHECK."

(3) When each front door is opened and closed, check if scan

tool MB991502 sounds or not.

Q: Does scan tool MB991502 sound when each front door

is opened and closed?
When the driver's door is opened and closed, scan tool
MB991502 does not sound. : Go to Step 2.
When the front passenger's door is opened and closed,
scan tool MB991502 does not sound. : Go to Step 6.
when each front door is opened and closed, scan tool
MB991502 sounds. : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the

functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT
OPERATION", work normally, the input signal from
the driver's or the front passenger's door switch
should be normal.

STEP 2. Check the driver's door switch.
Remove the driver's door switch. Then check the continuity
between the switch terminals and the switch body.

Q: Is the driver's door switch in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the driver's door switch. If the functions,

which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work
normally, the input signal from the driver's door switch
should be normal.

STEP 3. Measure at the lower metal part of the driver's
door switch in order to check the ground circuit to the
driver's door switch.
NOTE: Check that the driver's door switch is grounded to the
vehicle body by means of its mounting screw.
Remove the cap, and measure the resistance value between
the lower metal part and the ground.

• The resistance should equal 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Check the fit of the switch, and repair if necessary. If

the functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT
OPERATION", work normally, the input signal from
the driver's door switch should be normal.

STEP 4. Check driver's door switch connector F-14 and
ETACS-ECU connector D-222 for loose, corroded or
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector.
Q: Are driver's door switch connector F-14 and ETACS-

ECU connector D-222 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. If the functions, which are described in

"CIRCUIT OPERATION", work normally, the input
signal from the driver's door switch should be normal.
