Inspection Procedure 10: The hazard warning light switch signal is not received.
 
 
caution
  • Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
  • When the ETACS-ECU of vehicles without KOS is replaced, the encrypted code of the ignition key needs to be registered to the ETACS-ECU. (If the encrypted code is not registered, the engine cannot be started. Register the encrypted code as described in Immobilizer System - How to Register Key ID .)
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The hazard warning light switch input signal is used for the operation judgment of hazard warning light. Therefore, if the signal is abnormal, the hazard warning light will not illuminate.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • The hazard indicator assembly 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:
  • MB991223: Harness Set
  • MB992006: Extra Fine Probe
STEP 1. Check the hazard indicator assembly.
Refer to .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Replace the hazard indicator assembly.
 
STEP 2. Resistance measurement at hazard indicator assembly connector (ground terminal)
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Measure the resistance between the hazard indicator assembly connector (ground terminal) and ground.
OK: The resistance should be 2 ohms or less
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Check of open circuit in ground line between hazard indicator assembly connector and ground
Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction is suspected (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 4. Check of short to power supply, short to ground, and open circuit in HAZ line between ETACS-ECU connector and hazard indicator assembly connector
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 5. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check data list.
(1)
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to "How to connect Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III) ."
(2) Check the input signals from the hazard warning light switch.
  • Turn ON the hazard warning light switch.

OK: Normal condition is displayed.
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.
