CAUTION

On troubleshooting, if the ignition switch is turned ON while disconnecting connector(s), diagnosis
code(s) associated with other system may be set. On completion, confirm all systems for diagnosis
code(s). If diagnosis code(s) are set, erase them all.

DIAGNOSIS CODE PROCEDURES

Code No.B16A6 Hazard warning lamp blown fuse

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
When the hazard warning lamp fuse is blown, the
ETACS-ECU sets the diagnosis code No. B16A6.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA
With the diagnosis code not set, when the blown fuse
of hazard warning lamp is detected three times con-
secutively, the ETACS-ECU sets the diagnosis code
No. B16A3.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Fuse check
Check if the turn-signal lamp fuse is normal.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Replace the turn-signal lamp fuse.

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF)

position to "ON" position.

(3) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

NO :

The diagnosis is complete.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART

M1541500700268

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

Inspection Procedure 1: The hazard warning lamps do not illuminate.

CAUTION

Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power
supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communi-
cation circuit are normal.
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If the hazard warning lamps do not illuminate, the
hazard warning lamp switch input circuit in centre
panel unit or the ETACS-ECU may have a problem.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of centre panel unit

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check that the turn-signal lamps
operate.
Check that the turn-signal lamps illuminate normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Diagnose the headlamps. Refer to
Inspection Procedure 10 "The turn-signal
lamps do not illuminate" .

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list
Using the ETACS-ECU service data, check the haz-
ard warning lamp signal.

• Turn ON the hazard lamp switch.

OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to
Inspection Procedure 10 "The hazard
warning lamp switch signal is not received" .

STEP 3. Retest the system
Check that the hazard warning lamps illuminate nor-
mally.

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 ).

NO :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

Inspection Procedure 2: The ESS (Emergency Stop signal System) function does not work normally.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the
communication circuit are normal.
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If the ESS (Emergency Stop signal System) function
does not work normally, ETACS-ECU, ABS-ECU or
ASC-ECU may be defective. Also, the ESS does not

work when the hazard warning lamps illuminate.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of the ABS-ECU

• Malfunction of the ASC-ECU

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check if diagnosis code is set to the ABS-ECU or
ASC-ECU.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set to the any of the above?

Set to the ABS-ECU. :

Troubleshoot the ABS.

Refer to GROUP 35B

− Troubleshooting .

Set to the ASC-ECU. :

Troubleshoot the ASC.

Refer to GROUP 35C

− Troubleshooting .

The diagnosis code is not set. :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III other system actuator test

ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU

• Item 10: ESS test mode (Refer to <ABS> or

<ASC>).

OK: The ESS function operates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Replace the ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU.

STEP 4. Retest the system
Check that the ESS function works normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to
