Inspection Procedure 1

Inspection Procedure 1: ETACS-ECU Does Not Receive Any Signal From The Ignition Switch (ACC).

Ignition Switch (ACC) Input Circuit:

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If there is an error to the ignition switch (ACC) input signal, or the ACC relay inside the ETACS-ECU does not operate, the ignition switch (ACC) signal is no longer output to the communication line.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The ETACS-ECU may be defective
- The ignition switch may be defective
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991223: Harness Set
- MB992006: Extra Fine Probe

STEP 1. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-317 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q : Is ETACS-ECU connector C-317 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s) (Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection). Check that the input signal of ignition switch (ACC) is normal.

STEP 2. Check the ignition switch (ACC) line of the power supply circuit to the ETACS-ECU. Measure the voltage at ETACS-ECU connector C-317.

1. Disconnect ETACS-ECU connector C-317 and measure the voltage available at the junction block side of the connector
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" position.




3. Measure the voltage between terminal 7 and ground.
- The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

Q : Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)?

YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. Check that the input signa of ignition switch (ACC) is normal.

NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal 7) and the ignition switch (ACC)

Check the power supply line (ACC) for open circuit and short circuit.

Q : Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal 7) and ignition switch (ACC) in good condition?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

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. Check that the input signal of ignition switch (ACC) is normal.
