INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) USING SWS MONITOR

54C-208

Inspection Procedure N-4: The column switch (lighting and turn-signal lamp switch) signal is not 
received.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
input signal circuit is normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

Input signal from the column switch (lighting and 
turn-signal lamp switch) is used to operate the func-
tions below. If the signal is abnormal, these functions 
will not work normally.

• Lamp reminder buzzer

• Headlamp and tail lamp

• Fog lamp

• Turn signal lamp

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check the column switch connector.
Check that the wiper and washer switch connector, 
the lighting switch connector and the switch body 
connector are in good condition.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.

Step 2. Check the column switch (lighting switch 
and switch body).
Refer to GROUP 54A 

− Column switch 

P.54A-90

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Replace the column switch.

Step 3. ECU check by using the SWS monitor
Check that the power supply and earth lines to the 
column switch (column-ECU) and the SWS commu-
nication lines are normal.

• Ignition switch: OFF

• COLUMN ECU

OK: "OK" is displayed on the "COLUMN 
ECU" menu.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Refer to Inspection Procedure A-2 
"Communication with the column switch 
(column-ECU) is not possible

INPUT SIGNAL PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) USING SWS MONITOR

54C-211

Inspection Procedure N-6: The windshield intermittent wiper volume signal is not received.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the 
input signal circuit is normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The intermittent wiper interval is calculated in 
accordance with the input signal from the windshield 
intermittent wiper volume. If this signal is abnormal, 
the wiper interval can not be adjusted.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Connector check: B-135 column switch 
connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

Repair the defective connector.
