OPERATION
lWhen the fog light switch is placed in the ON position with the lighting switch in the HEAD positionand the dimmer switch in the LO position, current flows through the dedicated fuse (4) to the coil
of the fog light relay, the fog light switch, the dimmer switch and ground, causing the contacts of
the fog light relay to close.
When the contacts of the fog light relay close, current flows through the dedicated fuse (4) to the
contacts of the fog light relay, the fog lights and ground, causing the fog lights to come on.
lWhen the dimmer switch is placed in the HI position or the lighting switch is placed in the TAIL or
OFF position while the fog lights are ON, current supply to the fog light relay or headlight relay is
cut off. As a result, the contacts of the fog light relay open, and the fog lights go out.
NOTE
The fog lights are included in the light automatic shut-OFF system. (Refer to P.54-37). The indicator lights
are also included in the same system.

OPERATION
0When the lighting switch is placed in the TAILor HEAD position, current flows through the
coil of the tail light relay to the lighting switchand ground, causing the contacts of the tail
light relay to close.
Then current flows through the contacts of thetail light relay to the dedicated fuse
(2) the
individual lights and ground, causing the tail
lights, parking/side marker lights and licenseplate lights to go ON.

lIf the driver’s door is opened after the ignition
switch is turned to “OFF” or the ignition switchis turned to “OFF” after the driver’s door is
opened when the tail lights are lit, the current
which flows to the coil side of the tail light relaywill be cut off by the light automatic shut-off
unit opening the contact point, and the tail light
relay will be turned “OFF’ to automatically shut
off the tail lights, parking and front side marker
lights and license plate light.
lTo turn on the tail lights, parking and front side
marker lights and license plate light again after
they are automatically shut off, turn the lightingswitch to “OFF” once and to “HEAD” again,
or turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or “ON”,
and the automatic shut-OFF will be cancelled
and the current will flow from the light automaticshut-OFF unit to the coil side of the tail light
relay to close the contact point. Thus, the taillight relay will be turned “ON” to turn on the
tail lights, parking and front marker lights and
license plate light.
NOTE
When the lighting switch is at the “HEAD” position,
the light automatic shut-OFF system will be also
activated for the headlights. (Refer to P.54-37.) The
same system will also be activated for the illumina-
tion lights, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. All lights don’t illuminate.
(1) The headlights don’t illuminate, either.l Check the fusible link (3).
(2) The headlights illuminate.l Check the tail light relay. (Refer to
P.54-108.)l Check the dedicated fuse (2).
l Check the lighting switch. (Refer to
P.54-113.)l Check the light automatic shut-OFF
unit. (Refer to
P.54-108.)2. Some light does not come on.
l Check the bulb.
l Check the grounding circuit.
3. Some light is not automatically shut off.
lCheck the driver’s side door switch.
(Refer to GROUP 42- Door Assembly.)l Check the automatic shut-OFF unit.

OPERATION light>l
Battery voltage is always applied to the dome light. When the dome light switch is turned to “ON”,
the dome light will remain lit. After either door is opened if the dome light switch is at “DOOR” position,the dome light will come on.
lWith the dome light turned on (with the ignition switch in the OFF position and with the dome light
switch in the DOOR position), close all doors, and the timer circuit in the ETACS unit will be activatedto gradually vary the voltage for approx. 6 seconds owing to the duty control, and the voltage will
be output to transistor Tr. Since the voltage applied to the dome light gradually decreases, the dome
light will be dimmed.lIf the ignition switch is turned to “ON” while the dome light is lit (while the timer is activated), the
timer circuit will be opened to turn “OFF” transistor Tr. This will immediately turn off the dome light
without dimming. light>-lBattery voltage is always applied to the foot lights and ignition key illumination light.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, open any door, and all lights will come on.
l
With all lights turned on (with the ignition switch in the OFF position), close all doors, and the timercircuit inside the ETACS unit will operate in the same manner as the dome light to dim all lights.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with all lights turned on (with the timer in operation),the same operation as the dome light will take place.

INPUT SIGNAL

When using the scan tool (MUT) or voltmeter
Using the scan tool or voltmeter, check whether or not the
input signals from each switch are being input to the ETACS
unit.
(1) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector located
at the right side of the junction block or connect the voltme-
ter between the ETACS terminal and the ground terminal.
(2) Check if the buzzer of the scan tool sounds or the needleof the voltmeter moves when each switch is operated.
If the buzzer sounds or the needle moves, the input signalsare being input to the ETACS unit, so that switch can
be considered to be functioning normally. If not, the switch
or switch input circuit is faulty. Check the switch and the
switch input circuit.

When using the scan tool (MUT-II)
(1) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector. When
connecting the scan tool to a vehicle up to 1993 models,
use the adapter harness supplied together.
Caution
Turn off the ignition switch beforehand whenever thescan tool is connected or disconnected.
(2) If the scan tool makes a peep sound when each switchis operation (turned ON/OFF), the input signal to ECU
is normally sent from the switch circuit system.
When using the voltmeter
(1)Connect a voltmeter to the ETACS terminal and the ground
terminal of the data link connector using the special tool.
(2) If the voltmeter pointer deflects once when each switchis operated (turned ON/OFF), the input signal to ECU
is normally sent from the switch circuit system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1. When operation is normal
l
When the ignition switch is switched to the
ON position, battery voltage is applied (viathe multipurpose fuse (11) and hazard
switch) to the turn-signal and hazard flasher
unit.l
When the turn-signal switch is switched to
the LH position,
Trl (within the flasher unit)
is switched ON and OFF repeatedly.
Then the contacts of the relay 1 (also within
the flasher unit) repeatedly switch from ON
to OFF, causing the turn-signal lights and
turn-signal indicator light LH to flash.l
When the turn-signal switch is switched to
the RH position, Tr2 (within the flasher unit)
is switched ON and OFF repeatedly.Then the contacts of relay 2 (also within
the flasher unit) repeatedly switch from ON
to OFF, causing the turn-signal lights and
turn-signal indicator light RH to flash.2. If one of the bulbs is burned out
lIf the LH (or RH) turn-signal light bulb is
burned-out, the resistance of the turn-signalcircuit as a whole increases, resulting in
Lshorter ON and OFF intervals of the LHTrl (or RH Tr2) and a higher flashing rateof the LH lights (or RH lights).CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

OPERATION
lWhen the hazard-warning switch is switch-
ed to the “ON” position, the relay contactof the turn signal and hazard flasher unit
is switched ON and OFF repeatedly, in thesame manner as for the operation of the
turn-signal lights, and the left and right turn-
signal lights and turn-signal indicator lights
simultaneously flash repeatedly.
NOTE
(1) The number of flashes of the hazard-warn-
ing lights does not change if there is dam-
aged or disconnected wiring of one light.
(2)The light automatic shut-OFF system is valid
for the illumination light of the hazard switch.(Refer to
P.54-37.)

unit.2. All turn-signal lights at the left (or right) side
do not function.
