INTERIOR LIGHT




GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE INTERIOR LIGHT
The following ECUs affect the functions and control of the interior lights.




INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL FUNCTION
The ETACS-ECU makes it possible to force operation of ON and OFF light switches in the overhead console (the dome light, reading light, cargo area light, rear personal lights, front door lights, and front foot lights). This function is assigned higher priority than the controls for the interior light switch that are performed when the doors are opened or closed.
- When the lights are forced on, the illumination level is 100% as all cabin lights are switched on (the dome light, reading light, cargo area light, rear personal lights, front door lights, and front foot lights).
- Even when all lights are forced on, the interior light automatic shutoff function is active. When the lights are forced off, all cabin lights are immediately switched off (the dome light, reading light, cargo area light, rear personal lights, front door lights, and front foot lights).





The ETACS-ECU controls the interior lights by turning them on and off in the following way:
- When a door is opened with the ignition switch off, the interior lights turn on with luminance of 100 percent. When the door is closed, the interior lights dim to 65 percent, and go off 30 seconds later. However if the ignition switch is turned ON or if a door is locked while the interior lights is dimming, the dome light will go off at that point.
- When a door is opened with the ignition switch ON, the interior lights up at a luminance of 100 percent. When the door is closed, the interior lights go off.
- When the ignition key is removed with all doors closed, the interior lights up at a luminance of 100 percent, and goes off 30 seconds later. However if the ignition key is inserted again or if a door is locked while the interior lights is lighting, the interior lights will go off at that point.
- To check keyless entry operations more easily, the interior lights are flashed once when the doors are locked. When the doors are unlocked, the interior lights at a luminance of 100 percent, and go off 15 seconds later.

NOTE: The dimmer function can be customized on vehicles equipped with a multi-center display (middle grade type).

NOTE: The dotted lines indicate that lighting mode when the ignition switch is turned ON, door is locked, or any door is opened during the timer illumination time.




INTERIOR LIGHT AUTOMATIC-SHUTOFF FUNCTION
Illuminated interior lights such as the front dome light, etc. (all lights using the dome light fuse as the power supply) will automatically go off in the following conditions to prevent the battery from discharging as a result of forgetting to turn off the lights or incomplete closing of the door.
- When the ignition switch is turned off and more than 30 minutes pass with the interior light illuminated, the interior lights will go off automatically.
- When the ignition switch is turned off and one of the door switches remains open for 30 minutes continuously, the interior lights will go off automatically.

NOTE: The interior light automatic shutoff function can be customized on vehicles equipped with a multi-center display (middle grade type).

IGNITION KEY HOLE ILLUMINATION LIGHT FUNCTION
The ignition key hole illumination light illuminates when the driver's door is opened with the ignition switch off, and for 30 seconds after the driver's door is closed. It also illuminates for 30 seconds after the ignition key is pulled out. In any case, it goes out when the ignition switch is turned on.

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR
The combination meter receives the signal sent from the ETACS-ECU about whether each door (including the tailgate and glass hatch) is open or closed and turns the door ajar indicator on and off. While the door ajar indicator is illuminated, the door ajar warning function is activated and the door ajar indicator flashes 4 times. If the door remains open even after the 4 warning flashes, the door ajar indicator will be illuminated again.




SEAT BELT INDICATOR
If any of the following conditions is met with the ignition switch at "ON" or "ST", the ETACS-ECU illuminates, flashes or extinguishes the seat belt indicator by using the driver's seat belt switch signal and the vehicle speed signal sent from the combination meter.
- Illuminates when the ignition switch is at "ON" and the seat belt switch is turned on (the driver's seat belt is unfastened).
- Flashes and illuminates the indicator 12 cycles (after 0.5 seconds) if any of the following conditions is met when sixty seconds or more have elapsed since the ignition switch is turned "ON". One cycle consists of five-second "flashing" and then three-second "illumination".
a. The vehicle speed has reached 8 km/h (5 mph) while the seat belt switch is turned on (driver's seat belt is not fastened) with the ignition switch "ON.
b. The seat belt switch has been turned on (driver's seat belt has not been fastened) for at least ten seconds while the ignition switch has been turned "ON" and the vehicle speed has been 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.

NOTE: Once this timer operation has been activated, it will not be activated again until the vehicle speed reduces to 3 km/h (2 mph) or less even if any of the following conditions is met.

- The indicator stops illuminating if the ignition switch or the seat belt switch is turned off (the driver's seat belt is fastened) while the timer operation is active.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER




GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
The given ECUs affect the functions and control of the windshield wiper and washer.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER CONTROL FUNCTION




INTERMITTENT CONTROL (VEHICLE SPEED-DEPENDENT VARIABLE TYPE)
ETACS-ECU uses the dial position of the variable intermittent wiper control switch and the vehicle speed signal sent by the combination meter to calculate the interval, and sends this to the front-ECU.

NOTE: The speed-sensitive wiper can be customized on vehicles equipped with a multi-center display (middle grade type).




The front-ECU determines the intermittent time T1 from the input SWS data signal, and turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal. When the wiper is at the STOP position, the windshield wiper auto-stop signal goes OFF, then turns OFF the wind-shield wiper drive signal. After the intermittent time T1 seconds from when the windshield wiper drive signal turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON again and the above operation is repeated.

NOTE: If the intermittent time T1 is within 2 seconds, the wiper is operated consecutively at LOW-speed by the front-ECU.

Mist Wiper Control:




MIST WIPER CONTROL

When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, and the windshield mist wiper switch of the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal. At the same time, the wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HIGH-SPEED). While the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the windshield wiper will operate at high speed. Then, if the windshield mist wiper switch is turned off, the wiper operates at low speed until it stops at the predetermined park position.

When the windshield mist switch is turned on briefly, the wiper operates once at low speed. At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper has been operating intermittently, the same operations as the above will be performed while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON. After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the intermittent operations will be set again T1 seconds after the last windshield wiper auto-stop signal turning ON.

Low Speed Wiper And High Speed Wiper Control:




LOW SPEED WIPER AND HIGH SPEED WIPER CONTROL
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON position, and the windshield low speed wiper switch of the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal, turns OFF (LO) the windshield wiper speed relay, and operates the windshield wiper at low speed. Next, when the windshield high speed wiper switch is turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON, the windshield wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HI), and the windshield wiper is operated at high speed.

Washer Control:




WASHER CONTROL
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, and the windshield washer switch of the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield washer relay. The windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON after 0.15 seconds until 2 seconds after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to operate the windshield wiper continuously. When the windshield washer switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper is operating intermittently, intermittent operations will be continued after continuous operations.






NOTE: The wiper drive signal output time varies according to the conditions. Refer to the table for details.
