Code No.B16A3 Turn-signal Lamp (LH) Short Circuit















DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION


When the left wiring harness of turn-signal lamp is short circuited, the ETACS-ECU sets diagnosis code No. B16A3.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA


With the diagnosis code not set, when the short circuit is detected three times consecutively, the ETACS-ECU sets the diagnosis code No. B16A3.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Connector check: A-37 headlamp assembly (LH) connector, A-11 side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector and D-15 rear combination lamp (LH) connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.

NO : Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at the A-37 headlamp assembly (LH) connector, A-11 side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector and D-15 rear combination lamp (LH) 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 A-37 headlamp assembly (LH) connector terminal No. 8 and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the A-11 side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector terminal No. 1 and the body earth.
  • Measure the resistance between the D-15 rear combination lamp (LH) connector terminal No. 4 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. Wiring harness check between A-37 headlamp assembly (LH) connector terminal No. 8, A-11 side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector terminal No. 1, D-15 rear combination lamp (LH) connector terminal No. 4 and the body earth



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Connector check: C-304 and C-311 ETACS-ECU connectors


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 5. Wiring harnesses check between A-37 headlamp assembly (LH) connector terminal No. 5, A-11 side turn-signal lamp (LH) connector terminal No. 2, D-15 rear combination lamp (LH) connector terminal No. 3 and C-304 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No. 9 or C-311 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No. 18



Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. 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 diagnosis is complete.
