STEP 4. Check the ground circuit to the ETACS-ECU. 
Measure the resistance at ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 
and C-219.
(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219, and 

measure the resistance available at the junction block side 
of the connector.

(2) Measure the resistance value between ETACS-ECU 

connector C-218 terminal 50 and ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Measure the resistance value between ETACS-ECU 
connector C-219 terminal 3 and ground.

• The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU 
connector C-218 (terminal 50) or ETACS-ECU connector 
C-219 (terminal 3) and ground.

NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-211 for loose, 
corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in 
the connector. If junction block connector C-211 is damaged, 
repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in 
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector 

C-218 (terminal 50) or ETACS-ECU connector C-219 
(terminal 3) and ground in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that 
the system should communicate with the SWS 
monitor kit normally.

STEP 6. Check data link connector C-125 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Is data link connector C-125 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Verify that the system should communicate 

with the SWS monitor kit normally.

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU 
connector C-218 (terminals 45, 53 and 61) and data link 
connector C-125 (terminals 9, 3 and 1).
Q: Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector 

C-218 (terminals 45, 53 and 61) and data link connector 
C-125 (terminals 9, 3 and 1) in good condition?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. The system should 

communicate with the SWS monitor kit normally.

NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that 
the system should communicate with the SWS 
monitor kit normally.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-2: Communication with the Column Switch (column-ECU) is not 
Possible.

NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the 
use of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor 
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS 
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor 

P.54B-13

."

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The power supply to the column switch is pro-

vided by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).

• If the power supply system from the battery is 

defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

The power supply circuit to the column switch (col-
umn-ECU) may be defective. If the battery power 
supply circuit (terminal 1 of the column switch) to the 
ECU is damaged, also check the power supply circuit 
from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal 9 of the col-
umn switch), and repair if necessary.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

• The column switch may be defective

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective
