caution
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
 
 
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If both headlights (low-beam and high-beam) do not illuminate, the passing switch input circuit or ETACS-ECU may have a problem.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • The column 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
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), read the DTC.
Check if the DTC is set in ETACS-ECU.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE). Refer to "How to connect the Scan Tool (M.U.T.-IIISE) ."
(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.
Is the DTC set?
Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to .
Go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. Check the operation of the headlights.
Check that the high-beam headlights illuminate normally.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Refer to Inspection procedure 1 "None of the high-beam headlights illuminate." ().
 
STEP 3. Retest the system.
Check that the headlights (low-beam and high-beam) illuminates normally when turning ON the passing switch.
Is the check result normal?
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the ETACS-ECU.
