Code No.B16A4 Turn-signal (RH) bulb outage



caution
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
  • When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the ignition key needs to be registered to the ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not registered, the engine cannot be started. Register the encrypted code as described in Immobilizer System - How to Register Key ID .)


DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION


When the right bulb of turn-signal lamp is blown, the ETACS-ECU sets diagnosis code No. B16A4.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA


The ETACS-ECU sets diagnosis code No. B16A4 under the following conditions.


PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Bulb check


Check whether the bulb of turn-signal lamp which does not illuminate is normal.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

Replace the bulb of turn-signal lamp which does not illuminate.

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at the headlamp assembly (TURN: RH) connector, side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector and rear combination lamp (TURN: RH) connector


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Measure the resistance between the connector terminal of lamp which does not illuminate and the body earth.

  • Measure the resistance between the headlamp assembly (TURN: RH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the rear combination lamp (TURN: RH) connector (earth terminal) and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check of open circuit in earth line between headlamp assembly (TURN: RH) connector, side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector or rear combination lamp (TURN: RH) connector and the body earth


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check of open circuit in TR1&TR2-1 line between ETACS-ECU connector and headlamp assembly (TURN: RH) connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check of open circuit in TR1&TR2-1 line between ETACS-ECU connector and side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector <Fender panel attachment type>


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 6. Check of open circuit in TR3 line between ETACS-ECU connector and rear combination lamp (TURN: RH) connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 7. Check of open circuit in TR2-2 line between ETACS-ECU connector and side turn-signal lamp (RH) connector <Integrated in door mirror type>


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) position to "ON" position.
(3)Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

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