Inspection Procedure 1: The front dome light does not illuminate normally.
 
 
caution
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
 
 
 
 
OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU illuminates and extinguishes the front dome light in accordance with the input signals below.
  • Ignition switch (IG1)
  • Key reminder switch
  • Door switches
  • Front door lock actuator (driver’s side)
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If this does not work normally, the above switch input circuit(s), front dome light, or ETACS-ECU may have a problem.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • The key reminder switch may be defective
  • The door switch may be defective
  • The front door lock actuator (driver’s side) may be defective
  • The front dome light 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
Required Special Tools:
  • MB992006: Extra fine probe
  • MB991223: Harness set
STEP 1. Rear dome light operation check.
Check that the rear dome light illuminates and extinguishes normally.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), read the DTC.
(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 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 3.
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check data list.
Use the ETACS-ECU data list to check the signals related to the operation of front dome light.
  • Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
  • Remove the ignition key from the ignition key cylinder.
  • Open each door.

STEP 4. Front dome light bulb check.
Check that the front dome light bulb is normal.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Replace the front dome light bulb.
 
STEP 5. Check of open or short to ground circuit in LP+1 line between the front dome light connector and ETACS-ECU connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 6. Check of open or short to ground circuit in RLP- line between the front dome light connector and ETACS-ECU connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 7. Check of open circuit in ground line between the front dome light connector and body ground.
Is the check result normal?
Replace the front dome light, and then go to Step 8.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 8. Retest the system.
Check that the front dome light illuminates/extinguishes normally.
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.
