DIAGNOSIS CODE PROCEDURES

Code No.B2350 Lighting switch malfunction

 

Code No.B2351 Wiper/washer switch malfunction

CAUTION

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the 

power supply circuit, the earth 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 reg-
istered, the engine cannot be started. Regis-
ter the encrypted code as described in 
Immobilizer System 

− How to Register Key ID 

P.54A-33

.)

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

The ETACS-ECU receives the signals related to 
lighting and wiper/washer from the column switch. If 
the fail information data is included in the signal from 
column switch, the diagnosis code No. B2350 (light-
ing switch) or B2351 (wiper/washer switch) is stored.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The lighting switch, wiper/washer switch or the 
ETACS-ECU may have a problem.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of lighting switch (with built-in col-

umn-ECU)

• Malfunction of wiper/washer switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the 
ETACS-ECU.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) 

position to "ON" position.

(3) Check if the diagnosis code No. B2350 or B2351 

is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

− How 

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the 
ETACS-ECU.
(1) Replace the wiper/washer switch.
(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) 

position to "ON" position.

(4) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

The diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to the 
ETACS-ECU.
(1) Replace the lighting switch (with built-in 

column-ECU).

(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) 

position to "ON" position.

(4) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the ETACS-ECU.

NO : 

The diagnosis is complete.
