Inspection Procedure K-2

Interior Lamp: The Front Dome Light, Rear Dome Light or Luggage Compartment Light does not Illuminate or Go out Normally

Interior Lights And Luggage Compartment Light Circuit:




Connectors:






CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the dome light according to the following signals:
- ignition switch (IG1)
- key reminder switch
- front door switch
- all door switches
- driver's door lock actuator switch

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Is the dome light does not flash normally, a burned-out dome light bulb, the input circuits from the switches described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", the power supply line to the switches or the ETACS-ECU may be defective. Alternatively, the delay-off function may be set to "0 second" by using the configuration function.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Malfunction of the key reminder switch
- Malfunction of the door switch
- Malfunction of the driver's door lock actuator switch
- Malfunction of the dome light
- Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
- Damaged harness wires or connectors
