Inspection Procedure 3: 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 nor-
mal, the passing switch input signal circuit or the
ETACS-ECU may be defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK"
(OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU does not
set the diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Refer to diagnosis code chart

P.54A-494

.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check that the headlamps operate.
Check that the low-beam and high-beam headlamps
work normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the headlamps. Refer to trouble
symptom chart

P.54A-109

.

STEP 3. Retest the system.
When the passing switch is turned on, check if the
headlamps illuminate normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

use Troubleshooting/inspection Service
Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction ).
