Inspection Procedure N-5
The ETACS-ECU does not receive any signals from the front door switches.Front Door Switches Input Circuit Part 1:
Front Door Switches Input Circuit Part 2:
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the following functions or systems according to signal from the front door switches:
- Ignition key reminder tone alarm function
- Light reminder tone alarm function
- Power window timer function
- Sunroof timer function
- Headlight automatic shutdown function
- Dome light
- Door-ajar indicator light
- Ignition key cylinder illumination light
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the signal is not normal, the functions or systems, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", do network normally. If the signal is not normal, the front door switches or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The front door switches may be defective.
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
- The ETACS-ECU may be defective.

Q: Does scan tool MB991958 sound when each front door is opened?
YES
NO
NO
STEP 2. Check door switch (front: LH) connector D-18 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is door switch (front: LH) connector D-18 in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair or replace the damaged components). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If the functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work normally the input signal from the door switch (front: LH) should be normal.
STEP 3. Check the door switch (front: LH).
Remove the door switch (front: LH). Then check the continuity between the switch terminals and switch body.
Q: Is the door switch (front: LH) in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Replace the front door switch (LH). If the functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: LH) should be normal.
STEP 4. Measure at the lower metal part of the door switch (front: LH) in order to check the ground circuit to the door switch (front: LH).
NOTE: Check that the door switch (front: LH) is grounded to the vehicle body by means of its mounting screw. Remove the cap, and measure the resistance value between the lower metal part and the ground.
- The resistance should equal 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Check the fit of the switch, and repair if necessary. If the functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: LH) should be normal.
STEP 5. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-226 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-226 in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 6.
NO: Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If the functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: LH) should be normal.
STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between door switch (front: LH) connector D-18 (terminal 3) and ETACS-ECU connector C-226 (terminal 10).
NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-217 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If junction block connector C-217 is damaged, Repair or replace the damaged components) as described in Harness Connector Inspection.
Q: Is the wiring harness between door switch (front: LH) connector D-18 (terminal 3) and ETACS-ECU connector C-226 (terminal 10) in good condition?
YES: Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: LH) should be normal.
NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: LH) should be normal.
STEP 7. Check door switch (front: RH) connector D-01 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is door switch (front: RH) connector D-01 in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 8.
NO: Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: RH) should be normal.
STEP 8. Check the door switch (front: RH).
Remove the door switch (front: RH). Then check the continuity between the switch terminals.
Q: Is the front passenger's door switch in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 9.
NO: Replace the front passenger's door switch. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: RH) should be normal.
STEP 9. Measure at the lower metal part of the door switch (front: RH) in order to check the ground circuit to the door switch (front: RH).
NOTE: Check that the door switch (front: RH) is grounded to the vehicle body by means of its mounting screw. Remove the cap, and measure the resistance value between the lower metal part and the ground.
- The resistance should equal 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES: Go to Step 10.
NO: Check the fit of the switch, and repair if necessary. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: RH) should be normal.
STEP 10. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-228 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-228 in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 11.
NO: Repair or replace the damaged components). Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: RH) should be normal.
STEP 11. Check the wiring harness between door switch (front: RH) connector D-01 (terminal 3) and ETACS-ECU connector C-228 (terminal 65).
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-113 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connectors C-113 is damaged, Repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in Harness Connector Inspection.
Q: Is the wiring harness between door switch (front: RH) connector D-01 (terminal 3) and ETACS-ECU connector C-228 (terminal 65) in good condition?
YES: Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: RH) should be normal.
NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. If the functions described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" work normally, the input signal from the door switch (front: RH) should be normal.
