STEP 19. Wiring harness check between C-14
headlamp automatic levelling-ECU connector
terminal No. 1 and A-53 headlamp assembly (RH)
connector terminal No. 7.

• Check the signal line for open circuit and short

circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 20.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 20. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the headlamp automatic levelling-ECU serv-
ice data.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Turn the lighting switch to the HEAD position.
(3) Turn the steering wheel anticlockwise for 104

° or

more.

(4) Turn the steering wheel clockwise for 104

° or

more.

OK: Normal conditions is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 21.

NO :

Replace the headlamp automatic levelling-
ECU.

STEP 21. Retest the system
Check that the AFS works 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 ).

NO :

Replace the headlamp automatic levelling-
ECU.

Inspection Procedure 14: The bending lamp illumination timing by the steering operation is failed.

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
headlamp automatic levelling-ECU turns ON the
bending lamp when the rotation angle of the steering
wheel for the speed exceeds the angle indicated in
the Table 1. If it is not turned ON with the normal tim-
ing, the input signal system for the rotation angle of
the steering wheel or the headlamp automatic level-
ling-ECU may be defective.
TABLE 1

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the steering wheel sensor

• Malfunction of the headlamp automatic levelling-

ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the headlamp automatic levelling-ECU serv-
ice data below.

• Turn the steering wheel.

OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Steering wheel sensor check
Perform the steering wheel sensor neutral position
learning (Refer to GROUP 35C

− Steering Wheel

Sensor Calibration ), and then check the trouble
symptom again.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The diagnosis is complete.

NO :

Replace the steering wheel sensor, and
then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Retest the system
Check that the bending lamps illuminate and go out
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 ).

NO :

Replace the headlamp automatic levelling-
ECU.

Inspection Procedure 15: The welcome light 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
When the welcome light function does not operate
normally, the keyless entry system or the ETACS-
ECU may have a problem. Or, the welcome light
function may have been set to disabled using the
customisation function.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the keyless entry system

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. ETACS-ECU customise function check.
Check that any one of the followings other than "Dis-
abled" is set for "Welcome light" with a customisation
function.

• Small lamp

• Head lamp

Q: Is it set to other than "Disabled"?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Set "Welcome light" to any one other than
"Disabled" with a customise function (Refer
to ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
Check if diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to .

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the keyless entry system
operation
Check that the keyless entry system operation nor-
mally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Troubleshoot the keyless entry system.
Refer to GROUP 42B

− Troubleshooting

<KOS> or GROUP 42C

− Troubleshooting

<WCM>.

STEP 4. Check the tail lamps and headlamps.
When the lighting switch is operated, check that the
tail lamps and headlamps illuminate/go off normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Troubleshoot the tail lamps and headlamps.
Refer to trouble symptom chart .

STEP 5. Retest the system.
The welcome light should work 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 ).

NO :

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

than "Disabled" with a customise function
(Refer to ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code
Check if diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to .

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list
Using the ETACS-ECU service data, check the igni-
tion switch signal.

• Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) posi-

tion.

OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to
