INSPECTION PROCEDURE I-4: The turn-signal lamp indicator does not illuminate normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
At the same time that the turn-signal lamps are illu-
minated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illumi-
nate the turn-signal lamp indicator via the CAN bus
line.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the turn-signal indicator does not illuminate nor-
mally, connector(s), wiring harness in the CAN bus
lines, the ETACS-ECU or the combination meter may
be defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The combination meter may be defective
The ETACS-ECU may be defective

FOG LAMP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE FOG LAMPSM1549021400216
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the fog lamps.
Fog lamp
The fog lamps will illuminate only when the fog lamp
switch is operated while the low-beam headlamps
are on.
The fog lamps will be switched off when any of the
following conditions is met. The fog lamps will also
be switched off automatically by headlamp automatic
shutoff function.
When the high-beam headlamps are switched
on, the fog lamps will be switched off. If the
low-beam headlamps are switched on again, the
fog lamps will illuminate again.
When the headlamp switch is turned off or the tail
lamps and headlamps are off, the fog lamps will
be switched off. If the low-beam headlamps are
switched on again, the fog lamps will not illumi-
nate again.
Fog lamp indicator
At the same time that the fog lamps are illuminated, the
ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the fog lamp indicator
via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives the
transmitted signal and turns the fog lamp indicator on and off. FUNCTION CONTROL ECU
