INSPECTION PROCEDURE 24
Power supply system and ignition switch-IG system
Probable cause
When an ignition switch ON signal is input to the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU turns
the control relay ON. This causes system voltage to be supplied to the engine-ECU,
injectors and air flow sensor.

BATTERY TESTING PROCEDURE
TEST STEP
(1) Turn headlamps on for 15 seconds.
(2) Turn headlamps off for 2 minutes to allow battery voltage to
stabilize.
(3) Disconnect cables.
Read open circuit voltage.
OK:Open circuit voltage is more than 12.4 VNGCharge battery at 5 amps. (see LOAD TEST RATE CHART)
RetestOK
(1) Connect a load tester to the battery.
(2) Load the battery at the recommended discharge rate (see LOAD
TEST RATE CHART).
(3) Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove load.
(4) Compare the measured value with the minimum voltage (see
LOAD TEST CHART).
OK:Higher than minimum voltageNG

Cautions in Handling Headlamp Assembly
Each headlamp assembly has a plastic outer lens on. Observe the do’s and don’ts below when
handling the headlamps.

Do not leave the headlamps lit for longer than 3 minutes with a protective cover on.

Do not mask the outer lens surface by taping or in any other way.

Do not scrub the outer lens surface with a pointed tool.

Use the designated wax remover for cleaning the outer lens surface. Rinse it thoroughly.

Use the designated genuine bulbs.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION POINTS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
The lighting monitor buzzer does not sound even when
the ignition key is removed with the tail lamps or
headlamps ON and the driver’s side door open. [However,
the key reminder warning buzzer sounds when inserting
the key into the ignition key cylinder.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the lighting switch input circuit system or
a malfunction of ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU. When the key reminder warning buzzer
is sounding, the lighting monitor warning buzzer does not sound even if the tail lamps
or headlamps are lit.
