STEP 2. Check the trunk lid latch.
Disconnect trunk lid latch connector F-19. Then check continu-
ity between terminals.

Q: Is the trunk lid latch in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the trunk lid latch. Check that the input signal

of trunk lid latch is normal.

STEP 3. Check the ground circuit to the trunk lid latch.
Measure the resistance at trunk lid latch connector F-19.
(1) Disconnect trunk lid latch connector F-19 and measure the

resistance available at the wiring harness side of the
connector.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 2 and

ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between trunk lid latch
connector F-19 (terminal 2) and ground.
Check the ground wires for open circuit.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector F-27 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector. If intermediate connector F-27 is damaged, repair or
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness
Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between trunk lid latch connector

F-19 (terminal 2) and ground 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. Check that
the input signal of trunk lid latch is normal.

STEP 5. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-313 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-313 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s) (Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

). Check that the input signal of trunk lid latch

is normal.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between trunk lid latch
connector F-19 (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-313 (terminal 5).
Check the output lines for open circuit and short circuit.
NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors F-27and D-16 for
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed
back in the connector. If intermediate connector F-27 or D-16 is
damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between trunk lid latch connector

F-19 (terminal 1) and ETACS-ECU connector C-313
(terminal 5) in good condition?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Check that the input signal

of trunk lid latch is normal.

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. Check that
the input signal of trunk lid latch is normal.

Inspection Procedure 10: ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from the hazard warning light
switch.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

If there is an error to the hazard warning light switch
input signal, the hazard warning light switch signal is
no longer output to the communication line.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The center panel unit may be defective

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

• The wiring harness or connectors may have

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

STEP 1. Check center panel unit connector C-124 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is center panel unit connector C-124 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

). Check that the input signal of hazard

warning light switch is normal.

STEP 2. Check the hazard warning light switch.
Remove the center panel unit. Then check continuity between
the switch terminal and switch body.

Q: Is the hazard warning light switch in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the center panel unit. Check that the input

signal of hazard warning light switch is normal.

STEP 3. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-301 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-301 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s) (Refer

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

). Check that the input signal of hazard

warning light switch is normal.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between center panel
unit connector C-124 (terminal 5) and ETACS-ECU
connector C-301 (terminal 19).
Check the input lines for open circuit and short circuit.
Q: Is the wiring harness between center panel unit

connector C-124 (terminal 5) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301 (terminal 19) in good condition?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Check that the input signal
