Inspection Procedure 2 [Vehicles Without Sunroof]

Inspection Procedure 2: The rear dome 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 rear dome light in accordance with the input signals below.

- Ignition switch (IG1)
- Key reminder switch
- Door switches
- Front door lock actuator

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

If this does not work normally, the above switch input circuit(s), rear dome light, or ETACS-ECU may have a problem.

PROBABLE CAUSES

- Malfunction of the key reminder switch
- Malfunction of door switch
- Malfunction of the front door lock actuator (RH)
- Malfunction of rear dome 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

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN communication system)

STEP 1. Front dome light operation check

Check that the front dome light illuminates and extinguishes normally.

Q. Does rear dome light work normally?

YES Go to Step 2.
NO Replace the ETACS-ECU.
STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.





(1)
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes."
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Check whether the ETACS-ECU related DTC is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Diagnose the ETACS-ECU. Refer to ETACS, Diagnosis Electronic Time and Alarm Control System (ETACS).

NO Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list.

Use the ETACS-ECU data list to check the signals related to the rear dome light.

- Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
- Remove the ignition key from the ignition key cylinder.
- Open each door.





Q. Does scan tool MB991958 display the items "Dr door unlock", "IG voltage", "Dr door ajar switch", "As door ajar switch", "RR door ajar switch", "RL door ajar switch" and "Handle lock switch" as normal condition?

YES (Normal conditions are displayed for all items.) Go to Step 4.
NO : (Normal condition is not displayed.) Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to ETACS, Diagnosis, Input signal chart Symptom Chart.
STEP 4. Check rear dome light connector D-07 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is rear dome light connector D-07 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 5.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection.
STEP 5. Rear dome light bulb check

Check that the rear dome light bulb is normal.

Q. Is rear dome light bulb normal?

YES Go to Step 6.
NO Replace the rear dome light bulb.
STEP 6. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-316 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is ETACS-ECU connectors C-316 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 7.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection.
STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between rear dome light D-07 connector (terminal 1, 2) and ETACS-ECU connector C-316 (terminal 6, 5)

- Check the line for open circuit.

Q. Is wiring harness between rear dome light D-07 connector (terminal 1, 2) and ETACS-ECU connector C-316 (terminal 6, 5) in good condition?

YES Go to Step 8.
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.
STEP 8. Retest the system

Check that the rear dome light illuminates and extinguishes normally.

Q. Does rear dome light work normal?

YES The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions).
NO Replace the ETACS-ECU.
