TROUBLESHOOTING

PRIOR TO TROUBLESHOOTING

M1549014700505

Before carrying out troubleshooting, check the fol-
lowing two items.

• Make sure that the ETACS-ECU, the junction

block (J/B), the front-ECU and the engine com-
partment relay box are connected securely.

• Check that the system fuses and fusible links are

not burned out.

STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLESHOOTING

M1549000500694

1. Gather information about the problem from the

customer.

2. Verify that the condition described by the

customer exists.

NOTE: If an error occurs in the SWS communica-
tion line, the ECU isolated from the communica-
tion line performs a fail-safe or backup operation,
so the problem may not match the one shown in
the Trouble Symptom Chart. However, the cause
of the failure can be tracked down by performing
the following troubleshooting with the SWS moni-
tor.

Check that the ETACS-ECU is applicable for the

vehicle specifications.

If the ECU is not applicable for them,

replace it with correct one.

Check the power supply circuit for the ECU

communication lines and repair if necessary.

Gather information about the problem
from the customer.

Verify that the condition described
by the customer exists.

ECU check on the SWS monitor

Confirming version number and destination

Check the data list by using the SWS monitor.

Check of output signal circuit system

Check of input signal circuit system

3. Confirming version number and destination

Check whether the SWS version number (0) and
destination (EU W/O DRL) meet the vehicle
specifications. If they are different, replace the
ETACS-ECU with a correct one.

4. ECU check on the SWS monitor

Check whether the communication status of the
input- or output-signal-side ECU associated with
the defective function is normal.

• If "OK " is displayed for all related ECUs, they

communicate with each other normally and the
input or output signal circuit system may be
defective. Therefore, check SWS monitor service
data.

• If "NG" is displayed for any of the related ECUs,

something may be wrong with the ECU for which
"NG" appears, its power supply or earthing sys-
tem, or a wiring harness or connector between
the SWS monitor and the ECU. Check the wiring
harness and connectors associated with the ECU
and examine the ECU itself.

5. Check the data list by using the SWS monitor.

Select the defective function from the
function-specific diagnostic menu, and check the
service data that appears for each function item.
This allows you to check whether the transmission
data is normal or not. You can judge which circuit
is the cause of the trouble, input circuit or output
circuit.
NOTE: In addition to the function-specific diag-
nostic menu, a service data menu is available for
SWS monitor service data to check all items for
each ECU.

• The switch condition does not meet the service

data display: Input signal system related to defec-
tive functions

• The switch condition meets the service data dis-

play: Output signal system related to defective
functions

6. Check of input signal circuit system

Check relevant switch, sensor, input signal-side
ECU and their wiring harness and connector.

7. Check of output signal circuit system

Check an output signal-side ECU, electrical load
components and their wiring harness and
connector.

HOW TO CONNECT THE SWS MONITOR

M1549014800524

CAUTION

Always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"
(OFF) position before connecting or disconnect-
ing the SWS monitor and the M.U.T.-II/III.

HOW TO CONNECT THE SWS
COMMUNICATION LINE

1. Connect M.U.T.-II/III to the diagnostic connector.
2. Remove the steering column cover.
3. Remove the steering column switch connector.

4. Connect special tool SWS monitor harness (for

column-ECU) MB991812 to the column switch
connector and column switch harness connector.

HOW TO ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN DOORS

1. Connect special tool SWS monitor harness (for

column-ECU) MB991812 to special tool adapter
harness for door communication MB991896.

2. Connect special tool Probe harness MB991822 to

special tool adapter harness for door
communication MB991896 assembled in step 1.

3. Confirm that all the harnesses are connected.

Then insert the probe of special probe harness
MB991822 to each female connector terminal on
special tool adapter harness for door
communication MB991896 by backprobing.
NOTE: For the connectors and their terminal
numbers on the door communication line for the
probe to insert, refer to the reference table.
