Inspection Procedure C-1: The Column Switch (Lighting and Wiper Switch) Signal is not Received.



caution Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the input signal circuit is normal.



COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


Input signal from the column switch is used to operate the functions below. If the signal is abnormal, these functions will not work normally.


PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.


When the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU does not set the diagnosis code.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Refer to diagnosis code chart .
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Connector check: C-302 column switch connector




Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the C-302 column switch connector.




(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.

(2)Check the resistance between C-302 column switch connector terminal No.4 and body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness from C-302 column switch connector terminal No.4 to body earth.





  • Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at C-302 column switch connector.




(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.

(2)Voltage between C-302 column switch connector No.1 and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between C-302 column switch connector terminal No.1 and fusible link (20).









note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check junction block connectors C-209, C-213 and joint connector C-132, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the power supply line for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 7. Voltage measurement at C-302 column switch connector.




(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)Voltage between C-302 column switch connector No.9 and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.

Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between C-302 column switch connector terminal No.9 and ignition switch (IG1).








note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check junction block connectors C-207, C-209 and joint connector C-132, and repair if necessary.

  • Check the power supply line for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 9. Connector check: C-219 ETACS-ECU connector




Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between C-302 column switch connector terminal No.3 and C-219 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.54.







  • Check the communication lines for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11.

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 11. Retest the system


(1)Replace the column switch.
(2)Check that the signals from the column switch are received.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The procedure is complete.
Replace the ETACS-ECU.
