.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The Active skid control system operation indicator
light/Active traction control system operation indica-
tor light is connected from the ignition switch (IG1)
through multi-purpose fuse No.6 and the combina-
tion meter to the M-ASTC-ECU. The M-ASTC-ECU
turns on and off the indicator light.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
This symptom is caused by a shorted or opened
Active skid control system operation indicator
light/Active traction control system operation indica-
tor light circuit.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this condition:)

• Damaged wiring harness

• Burned-out bulb

• Melted fuse

• Malfunction of M-ASTC-ECU

STEP 1. Check the Active skid control system operation
indicator light/Active traction control system operation
indicator light circuit at M-ASTC-ECU connector E-121.

(1) Disconnect M-ASTC-ECU connector E-121 and measure at

the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 74 and ground. It

should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive

voltage)?
YES : Replace the M-ASTC-ECU and then go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the harness wires between ignition switch
(IG1) connector D-204 terminal 2 and combination meter
connector D-03 terminal 62.
NOTE: After inspecting combination meter connector D-03,
ignition switch (IG1) connector D-204, junction block connector
D-208 and D-210, inspect the wire. If combination meter con-
nector D-03, ignition switch (IG1) connector D-204, junction
block connector D-208 and D-210 are damaged, repair or
replace them. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector
Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 4.

Q: Is the harness wire between ignition switch (IG1)

connector D-204 terminal 2 and combination meter
connector D-03 terminal 62 damaged?
YES : Repair the wiring harness wires between ignition

switch (IG1) connector D-204 terminal 2 and
combination meter connector D-03 terminal 62. Then
go to Step 4.

NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the harness wires between combination
meter connector D-03 terminal 62 and M-ASTC-ECU
connector E-121 terminal 74.
NOTE: After inspecting combination meter connector combina-
tion meter connector D-03, intermediate connector E-122 and
M-ASTC-ECU connector E-121, inspect the wire. If combina-
tion meter connector D-03, intermediate connector E-122 and
M-ASTC-ECU connector E-121 are damaged, repair or replace
them. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 4.

Q: Is the harness wire between combination meter

connector D-03 terminal 62 and M-ASTC-ECU connector
E-121 terminal 74 damaged?
YES : Repair it and then go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the combination meter (printed circuit board),

and then go to Step 4.
