CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The power supply to the ETACS-ECU is provided

by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).

• If the power supply system from the battery is

defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
It is suspected that the power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU is defective, or the wiring harness
between the SWS monitor kit and the ETACS-ECU
or their connector(s) is damaged. If the battery power
supply circuit to the ECU (terminal 20 of the

ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the power
supply circuit from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal
8 of the ETACS-ECU), and repair if necessary. If the
ground circuit to the ECU (terminal 3 of the
ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the ground cir-
cuit to the sensor (terminal 56 of the ETACS-ECU),
and repair if necessary.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The wiring harness or connectors may have

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

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

DIAGNOSIS

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

STEP 1. Check ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.

Q: Are ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219 in good

condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. The system should communicate with the

ETACS-ECU normally.

STEP 2. Check the battery power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU. Measure the voltage at ETACS-ECU
connector C-219.

(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connector C-219 and measure the

voltage available at the junction block side of the connector.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 20 and ground.

• The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery

positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU
connector C-219 (terminal 20) and the battery.

NOTE: Also check joint connector C-01 and junction block con-
nector C-214 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or ter-
minals pushed back in the connector. If joint connector C-01 or
junction block connector C-214 are damaged, repair or replace
the damaged component(s) as described in GROUP 00E, Har-
ness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector

C-219 (terminal 20) and the battery in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. The system
should communicate with the ETACS-ECU normally.
