CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Ignition Switch54-7
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
Inspection Procedure 1
Key hole illumination lamp remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a harness short or a defective ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU.
Malfunction of harness wire

Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

Malfunction of buzzer ECU
Disconnect the ignition key cylinder illumination lamp connector
B-84 and measure the continuity:

Between 4 and body earth
OK:ConductingNGCheck the harness wire between the ignition key cylinder illumination
lamp and junction block, and repair if necessary.
OK
Replace the ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU.
Inspection Procedure 2
Even if driver’s side door is opened, key hole illumination
lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a defective key hole illumination lamp circuit system, or a
defective driver’s side door switch input circuit system if the ignition key reminder
warning buzzer is also faulty.
Malfunction of driver’s side door switch

Malfunction of bulb

Malfunction of connector

OK:The MUT-II buzzer sounds once
when the driver’s side door switch
is ON.NG

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Ignition Switch54-8
Inspection Procedure 3
While key hole illumination lamp is illuminated, ignition
key is turned to the ON position but key hole illumination
lamp does not switch off. (However, it switch off after 15
seconds.)
Probable cause
While the key reminder warning buzzer is sounding, the
ignition key is turned to the ON position but the sound
dose not stop. (However, it stops when the driver’s side
door is closed.)
The cause is probably a malfunction of the ignition switch input circuit, ETACS-ECU
or buzzer ECU. Furthermore, if there is a malfunction of a multipurpose fuse, the
cause may also be a short circuit in a harness.

Inspection Procedure 5
The key reminder warning buzzer dose not sound even if
the driver’s side door is opened while the key is still
inserted. (However, the ignition key should be in the OFF
position.)
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the door switch input circuit system, if the
key hole illumination lamp is also faulty. A malfunction of the key reminder switch
input circuit system is also suspected.
