Inspection Procedure 1: Check the DC/DC converter power supply circuit.



caution Even when the diagnosis code No. B1301 or B1302 is set in the AS&G-ECU, do not conclude as a DC/DC converter or AS&G-ECU error, and be sure to check the DC/DC converter power supply circuit.

CIRCUIT OPERATION



  • The power supply to the DC/DC converter is provided by the fusible link.
  • The ACC signal is received from ETACS-ECU.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • The DC/DC converter (Entertainment) connector may be defective.
  • The battery may be defective.
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Battery test


Check the battery state. (Refer to .)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2
Replace the battery.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III ETACS system data list


Check the input signal of ACC relay.

  • Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
Item No.
Item name
Normal condition
Item 288
ACC switch
ON
OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3
Refer to ETACS - Input Signal Procedure 1 "The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not sent to the ETACS-ECU" .

STEP 3. Voltage measurement at DC/DC converter (Entertainment) connector (IGN terminal).


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
(3)Check the voltage between DC/DC converter (Entertainment) connector (IGN terminal) and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5
Go to Step 4

STEP 4. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in IGN line between DC/DC converter (Entertainment) connector and ETACS-ECU connector


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 connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at DC/DC converter (Entertainment) connector (PWR terminal).


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Check the voltage between DC/DC converter connector (PWR terminal) and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7
Go to Step 6

STEP 6. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in PWR line between fusible link and DC/DC converter (Entertainment) connector


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 connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 7. Resistance measurement at DC/DC converter connector (GND terminal)


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Check the continuity between the DC/DC converter connector (GND terminal) and body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

No action is necessary and testing is complete.
Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check of open circuit in GND line between DC/DC converter connector and body earth


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 connector(s) or wiring harness.
