Interior Light Automatic Shutt-down Function Circuit:






CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the dome light dimming function according to the following switches:
- Ignition switch (IG1)
- Key reminder switch
- Front door switches
- Driver's door lock actuator switch

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
Is the dome lights do not dim normally, the input circuits from the switches described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The key reminder switch may be defective
- The door switches may be defective
- The driver's door lock actuator switch may be defective
- The ETACS-ECU may be defective
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector

Required Special Tools:
- MB991223: Harness Set
- MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)
- MB991862: SWS monitor kit

STEP 1. Verify the front dome light and the rear dome light.
If the front dome light switch and the rear dome light switch are moved to the "door interlock position", the front dome light and the rear dome light should illuminate when either door is opened.

Q: Do the front dome light and the rear dome light illuminate normally?
Both the front dome light and the rear dome light
illuminate normally. : Go to Step 2.
Neither the front dome light nor the rear dome light illuminates normally. : Refer to Inspection Procedure M-1 "Front dome light, rear dome light and luggage compartment light do not illuminate or go out normally."
Either the front dome light or the rear dome light illuminates normally. : Refer to Inspection Procedure M-2 "Front dome light, rear dome light or luggage compartment light do not illuminates or goes out normally."

5. Select "ETACS ECU"




Check that normal conditions are displayed on the items described in the table.

Q: Are normal conditions displayed on the "IG SW (IG1)" and "FRONT DOOR SW"?

YES: Go to Step 4.

NO:
- Normal condition is not displayed on the "IG SW (IG1)": Refer to Inspection Procedure N-2 "ETACS-ECU does not receive a signal from the ignition switch (IG1)."
- Normal condition is not displayed on the "FRONT DOOR SW': Refer to Inspection Procedure N-5 "ETACS-ECU does not receive a signal from the driver's or the front passenger's door switch."

STEP 4. Check the input signal by using the pulse check mode of the monitor.
