STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between the trunk lid
latch connector F-19 (terminal No. 3) and the ground for
short circuit.
(1) Disconnect trunk lid latch connector F-19, and check the

wiring harness.

(2) Check the wiring harness between trunk lid latch connector

F-19 (terminal No. 3) and ground

OK: No continuity

Q: Is the wiring harness between trunk lid latch connector

F-19 (terminal No. 3) and the ground in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 11.
NO (trunk lid latch connector F-19 terminal No. 3

−

ground.) : Repair the wiring harness between trunk lid latch

connector F-19 (terminal No. 3) and ground.

STEP 11. Check of the troubles
Operate the transmitter and check that the trunk lid can be
opened.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : The diagnosis is complete.
NO : Replace the ETACS-ECU. When the ETACS-ECU is

replaced, register the keyless ID. Refer to

P.42C-114

.

The trunk lid can be opened by means of the
transmitter.

INPUT SIGNAL REFERENCE TABLE

M1427504700021

INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES

Signals from transmitter switches are not received.

CAUTION

Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power
supply circuit, the ground circuit and the com-
munication circuit are normal.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

Input signal from the keyless entry transmitter is
used to operate the keyless entry system. If the sig-
nal is abnormal, the keyless entry system will not
work normally.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB992006: Extra fine probe

• MB991223: Harness set

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicles Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect

scan tool (M.U.T.-III)

P.42C-6

."

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check whether the WCM related DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC set?

YES : Diagnose the WCM. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble

Code Chart

P.42C-14

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the transmitter battery.
Measure the voltage of the transmitter battery.

• The value should be approximately 2.5 - 3.2 volts.

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 2.5 - 3.2 volts?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the battery. If the transmitter can be

registered normally, and operates normally, it
indicates that the transmitter is sending normal signal
to the WCM.
