SECURITY ALARM

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54A-594

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code. 
Check if diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Diagnose the ETACS-ECU. Refer to 

GROUP 54A, Diagnosis .

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Security alarm siren operation check
(1) Set the security alarm to the "Ready to be 

triggered" condition.

(2) Open the driver's door by using the ignition key.
(3) Check that the security alarm siren sounds.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Replace the security alarm siren 
temporarily, and check whether the diagnosis 
code is set.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the 
ETACS-ECU.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) 

position to the ON position.

(3) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

NO : 

Replace the security alarm siren.

Code No.B120B Security alarm sensor error

CAUTION

Before replacing the ECU or sensor, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the 
communication circuit are normal.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The security alarm sensor communicates with the 
ETACS-ECU via the LIN bus line. If the diagnosis 
code No. B120B is set, the security alarm sensor 
itself may be defective.
NOTE: 

.

Diagnosis code No.B120B may be set when the 
security alarm sensor cover is improperly 
installed or is removed. Check if the security 
alarm sensor cover is properly installed.

Diagnosis code No.B120B is set when the ultra-
sonic wave transmission/reception part of the 
security alarm sensor is covered. Check if the 
ultrasonic wave transmission/reception part of the 
security alarm sensor was covered.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINT
Malfunction of the security alarm sensor

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code. 
Check if diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-ECU.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Diagnose the ETACS-ECU. Refer to 

GROUP 54A, Diagnosis .

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Security alarm sensor operation check
Ultrasonic wave sensor check

1. With the windows of the vehicle opened, set the 

security alarm to the "Ready to be triggered" con-
dition.

2. Put the arm from the outside to the inside of the 

vehicle.

3. Check that the security alarm siren sounds.

1. Set the security alarm to the "Ready to be trig-

gered" condition.

2. Raise the front wheels or rear wheels.
3. Check that the security alarm siren sounds.

Q: Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent 

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
Check if diagnosis code No. B120A is set to the 
ETACS-ECU.

Q: Is diagnosis code No. B120A set?

SECURITY ALARM

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54A-595

YES : 

Perform the troubleshooting of diagnosis 

code No.B120A. (Refer to )

NO <The ultrasonic wave sensor is defective, or 
the ultrasonic wave sensor and the inclination 
sensor are defective> : 

Go to step 4.

NO <Only the inclination sensor is defective> : 

Go 

to step 5.

STEP 4. Check the customise function.
Check if the ultrasonic wave sensor of the security 
alarm senor operates when the sensitivity of the 
security alarm senor is set to "Level 1".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

NO : 

Go to step 5.

STEP 5. Replace the security alarm sensor 
temporarily, and check whether the diagnosis 
code is set.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the 
ETACS-ECU.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) 

position to the ON position.

(3) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

NO : 

Replace the security alarm sensor.

Code No.B120C Security Alarm Siren Flat Battery

CAUTION

Before replacing the ECU or sensor, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the 
communication circuit are normal.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The diagnosis code No.B120C is set when the volt-
age of the rechargeable battery is low, or when the 
battery inside the security alarm siren has an error.
NOTE: The rechargeable battery integrated in the 
security alarm siren is charged by turning the ignition 
switch to the ON position.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINT

• Abnormality in security alarm siren

• Service life of rechargeable battery

• Since the vehicle had been stationary for long 

time, the rechargeable battery remained 
uncharged. This reduced voltage.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

M.U.T.-III diagnosis code.
Recheck whether the diagnosis code is set.
(1) Charge the rechargeable battery of the security 

alarm siren by turning the ignition switch to the 

ON position. (In principle, charge the battery for 
30 minutes or more.)

(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) After the diagnosis code is erased, turn the 

ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.

(4) Activate the security alarm once, and then cancel 

it.
NOTE: Note that after erasing diagnosis code 
No.B120C, if the ignition switch is turned from the 
LOCK (OFF) position to the ON position before 
activating the security alarm, diagnosis code 
No.B120C will be set even though the system is 
normal.

(5) Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) 

position to the ON position.

(6) On completion, check that the diagnosis code is 

not reset.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the security alarm siren.

NO : 

The diagnosis is complete.
