2005 MITSUBISHI 380 Ignition

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-310
INSPECTION PROCEDURE I-1: Flasher Timer: Turn-signal lamps do not flash when the turn-signal
lamp switch is turned on.
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
The turn-signal lamp switch sends a signal
through the column-ECU (incorporated in the col-
umn switch) to the ETACS-ECU. If the col-
umn-ECU sends a turn-signal lamp switch "ON"
signal to the ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU turns
on the flasher timer (incorporated in the
ETACS-ECU), thus causing the turn-signal lamps
to flash.
The ETACS-ECU operates the turn-signal lamps
according to the following signals:
Ignition switch (IG1): ON
Turn-signal lamp switch: ON
The ETACS-ECU flashes the turn-signal lamps
under the following conditions:
Ignition key: "ON" position
Turn-signal lamp switch: Left or right turn-sig-
nal position
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the turn-signal lamps do not flash normally, the
input circuits from the switches described in "CIR-
CUIT OPERATION" or the ETACS-ECU may be
defective. If the hazard warning lamps do not flash,
the power supply line to the ETACS-ECU (dedicated
to the turn-signal lamps) may be defective.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
Trouble in input signal system
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The ETACS-ECU may be defective
