(TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING
LIGHT SYSTEM)
Description ± TURN SIGNAL AND
HAZARD WARNING LIGHT SYSTEM
The component parts of this system and their function are as shown in the f\
ollowing table.
Parts NameFunction
Turn Signal SwitchSwitches current from the turn signal flasher to the left side or right \
side.
Hazard Warning
SwitchModifies the circuit to the flasher relay and turn signal switch in acco\
rdance with the
respective switch positions.
Turn Signal FlasherReceives current from the hazard warning switch and flashes the turn sig\
nal lights by
switching the current to the lights ON and OFF.

(Operation)
LHD Side
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (±) lead to 4.
(b) Connect the two turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other to terminals 3 and 4, check that bulbs flash.
RHD Side
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (±) lead to 2.
(d) Connect two turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other
to terminals 2 and 5, check that the bulbs flash.
HINT: The turn signal lights should flash 60 to 120 times per
minute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open circuit,
the number of flashes will be more than 140 per minute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
25
The difference between the sub±throttle sensor signal
voltage and the voltage required by the step count is 1
V or more.

Sub±throttle actuator.

Throttle body (sub±throttle valve is truck or operation is
faulty).

Sub±throttle position sensor.

Open or short in sub±throttle position sensor circuit.

ECM

TRAC ECU
26
Even when sub±throttle valve is driven to the fully open
position, input voltage at terminal VSH does not come
within range of the specifications 3 ~ 4.5 V.

Sub±throttle actuator.

Throttle body (sub±throttle valve is truck or operation is
faulty).

Sub±throttle position sensor.

Open or short in sub±throttle position sensor circuit.

ECM

TRAC ECU
27When input voltage at ECU terminal VSH is less than
the specification by about 2.5 V for 0.2 sec. or more.

Sub±throttle actuator (return spring is disconnected).

Sub±throttle position sensor.

Hint
PRemove air cleaner and duct.
Open and close the sub±throttle valve manually and
check the condition during operation.
The valve should operate smoothly without catch-
ing.
If sub±throttle actuator, sub±throttle valve, sub±throttle
position sensor and harness are free from any defect,
ECM may be defective. If ECM is free from any defect,
TRAC ECU may be defective.
