Inspection Procedure N-4

ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from all the door switches.

All Door Switches Input Circuit Part 1:




All Door Switches Input Circuit Part 2:






CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the following functions or systems according to signal from the driver's or front passenger's, rear or back door switches:
- Light reminder tone alarm function
- Power window timer function
- Headlight automatic shutdown function
- Keyless entry system
- Dome light

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the signal is not normal, the functions or systems, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", do not work normally. If the signal is not normal, the driver's, front passenger's, rear or back door switch or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- The driver's, front passenger's, rear or back door 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

Q: Is rear door switch (RH) connector D-08 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 8

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 rear door switch (RH) should be normal.







STEP 8. Check the rear door switch (RH).
Remove the rear door switch (RH). Then check continuity between the switch terminals.

Q: Is the rear door switch (RH) in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.

NO : Replace the rear door switch (RH). If the functions, which are described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", work normally, the input signal from the rear door switch (RH) should be normal.

STEP 9. Measure at the lower metal part of the rear door switch (RH) in order to check the ground circuit to the rear door switch (RH).

NOTE: Check that the rear door switch (RH) is grounded to the vehicle body by means of its mounting screw.
