Inspection Procedure 3
Inspection Procedure 3: The luggage compartment light does not illuminate normally.
CAUTION:
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
The ETACS-ECU illuminates and extinguishes the luggage compartment light in accordance with the input signals from trunk lid latch switch.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If this does not work normally, the trunk lid latch switch input circuit, luggage compartment light, or ETACS-ECU may have a problem.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Malfunction of trunk lid latch assembly
- Malfunction of luggage compartment light
- Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector
