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

MB991806: SWS Monitor Cartridge
MB991812: SWS Monitor Harness (For Column-ECU)
MB991822: Test Probe Harness
STEP 1. Check the turn-signal lamps.
When the column switch or the hazard warning lamp switch are
operated, check that the turn-signal lamps illuminate and go off
normally.
Q: Are the turn-signal lamps in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : First, repair the turn-signal lamp(s). Refer to
Inspection Procedure I-3 "One of the turn-signal
lamps does not illuminate P.54B-316."
STEP 2. Using Diagnostic Tool MB991958, diagnose the
CAN bus line.
To prevent damage to Diagnostic Tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting Diagnostic Tool
MB991958.
(1) Connect Diagnostic Tool MB991958.Refer to "How to
connect SWS monitor P.54B-13."
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the CAN bus line found to be normal?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C,
Diagnosis P.54C-15).
