HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

dures.

3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

GENERAL – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-13
INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS FOR A BLOWN
FUSE
Remove the fuse and measure the resistance between the
load side of the fuse and the earth. Set the switches of all
circuits which are connected to this fuse to a condition of
continuity. If the resistance is almost 0 Ω at this time, there
is a short somewhere between these switches and the load.
If the resistance is not 0 Ω, there is no short at the present
time, but a momentary short has probably caused the fuse
to blow.
The main causes of a short circuit are the following.
Harness being clamped by the vehicle body
Damage to the outer casing of the harness due to wear
or heat
Water getting into the connector or circuitry
Human error (mistakenly shorting a circuit, etc.)
POINTS TO NOTE FOR INTERMITTENT
MALFUNCTIONS
Intermittent malfunctions often occur under certain conditions,
and if these conditions can be ascertained, determining the
cause becomes simple. In order to ascertain the conditions
under which an intermittent malfunction occurs, first ask the
customer for details about the driving conditions, weather
conditions, frequency of occurrence and trouble symptoms,
and then try to recreate the trouble symptoms. Next, ascertain
whether the reason why the trouble symptom occurred under
these conditions is due to vibration, temperature or some
other factor. If vibration is thought to be the cause, carry
out the following checks with the connectors and components
to confirm whether the trouble symptom occurs.
The objects to be checked are connectors and components
which are indicated by inspection procedures or given as
probable causes (which generates diagnosis codes or trouble
symptoms.)
Gently shake the connector up, down and to the left and
right.
Gently shake the wiring harness up, down and to the
left and right.
Gently rock each sensor and relay, etc. by hand.
Gently shake the wiring harness at suspensions and other
moving parts.
NOTE
If determining the cause is difficult, the flight recorder function
of the MUT-II can also be used.

Inspection Procedure 1
The sunroof can not be operated when the ignition switch

Sunroof switch

Sunroof motor

Sunroof-ECU power supply circuit

Earth circuit
Malfunction of sunroof switch

Malfunction of sunroof motor

Malfunction of sunroof-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

BODY – Sunroof42-11
Inspection Procedure 2
The motor does not reverse its direction when a load of
140 N or more is applied while the sunroof is closing.
Probable cause
The sunroof-ECU monitors the load conditions from the amount of current flowing
to the motor. If more than the constant amount of current is flowing, the direction
of motor operation is reversed to prevent jamming.
If the motor does not reverse direction even when an excessive load is being applied,
the cause may be a malfunction of the sunroof-ECU.
Malfunction of sunroof-ECU
Replace the sunroof-ECU.
Inspection Procedure 3
The timer does not operate for 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to OFF.
Probable cause
The sunroof-ECU has a timer function which operates for 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to OFF. If the timer does not operate, the cause may be a malfunction
of the sunroof-ECU or of the wiring harness or connector.

Inspection Procedure 4
Opening or closing of the sunroof is possible for 30
seconds after turning the ignition switch to OFF, but the
timer function is not extended when the driver’s side door
is opened within this period.
Probable cause
The sunroof timer operation period is extended when an on signal is output from
the driver’s-side door switch. Because of this, if the timer operation period is not
extended, the cause may be a malfunction of the door switch input circuit.
