STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between column switch
connector C-309 (terminal 2) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-218 (terminal 62).
Q: Is the wiring harness between column switch connector
C-309 (terminal 2) and ETACS-ECU connector C-218
(terminal 62) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. The system
should communicate with the column switch
(column-ECU) normally.
STEP 10. Replace the column switch.
(1) Replace the column switch.
(2) The system should communicate with the column switch
(column-ECU) normally.
Q: Can the system communicate with the column switch
(column-ECU)?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE A-3: Communication with the ETACS-ECU is not Possible.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power supply to the ETACS-ECU is provided
by the battery and the ignition switch (IG1).
If the power supply system from the battery is
defective, the system operates by the power sup-
ply from the ignition switch (IG1).
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
It is suspected that the power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU is defective, or the wiring harness
between the SWS monitor kit and the ETACS-ECU
or their connector(s) is damaged. If the battery power
supply circuit to the ECU (terminal 20 of the ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the power
supply circuit from the ignition switch (IG1) (terminal
8 of the ETACS-ECU), and repair if necessary. If the
ground circuit to the ECU (terminal 3 of the
ETACS-ECU) is damaged, also check the ground cir-
cuit to the sensor (terminal 50 of the ETACS-ECU),
and repair if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

STEP 1. Check ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219
for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are ETACS-ECU connectors C-218 and C-219 in good
condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. The system should communicate with the
ETACS-ECU normally.
STEP 2. Check the battery power supply circuit to the
ETACS-ECU. Measure the voltage at ETACS-ECU
connector C-219.
(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connector C-219 and measure the
voltage available at the junction block side of the connector.
(2) Measure the voltage between terminal 20 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU
connector C-219 (terminal 20) and the battery.
NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-214 for loose,
corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in
the connector. If junction block connector C-214 is damaged,
repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector
C-219 (terminal 20) and the battery in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. The system
should communicate with the ETACS-ECU normally.
STEP 4. Check the ground circuit to the ETACS-ECU.
Measure the resistance at ETACS-ECU connector C-219.
(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connector C-219 and measure the
resistance available at the junction block side of the
connector.
(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 3 and
ground.
The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 5.
