INTERIOR LAMP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE INTERIOR LAMPM1549021800236
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the interior lamps.
Interior lamp control function
The ETACS-ECU controls the interior lamps by turn-
ing them on and off in the following way:
When a door is opened with the ignition switch
off, the interior lamps up to a luminance of 100
percent. When a door is closed, the interior lamps
dims at a luminance of 65 percent, and goes off
30 seconds later. However if the ignition switch is
turned ON or if a door is locked while the interior
lamps is dimming, the dome lamp will go off at
that point.
When a door is opened with the ignition switch
ON, the interior lamps up at a luminance of 100
percent. When a door is closed, the interior lamps
go off.
When the ignition key is removed with all doors
closed, the interior lamps up at a luminance of
100 percent, and goes off 30 seconds later. How-
ever if the ignition key is inserted again or if a
door is locked while the interior lamps is lighting,
the interior lamps will go off at that point.
To check keyless entry operations more easily,
the interior lamps is flashed once when the doors
are locked. When the doors are unlocked, the
interior lamps at a luminance of 100 percent, and
go off 15 seconds later.
NOTE: The dimmer function can be customised on
vehicles equipped with a multi center display (middle
grade type). Refer to P.54B-486.
NOTE: The dotted lines indicate that lighting mode
when the ignition switch is turned ON, door is locked,
or any door is opened during the timer illumination
time. FUNCTION CONTROL ECU
Interior lamp control function ETACS-ECU
Interior lamp automatic-shutoff function ETACS-ECU
Ignition key hole illumination lamp function ETACS-ECU
Door ajar indicator ETACS-ECU
Seat belt indicator ETACS-ECU

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-356
Interior lamp automatic-shutoff function
Illuminated interior lamps such as the front dome
lamp, etc. (all lamps using the dome lamp fuse as the
power supply) will automatically go off in the follow-
ing conditions to prevent the battery from discharging
as a result of forgetting to turn off the lamps or
incomplete closing of the door.
When the ignition switch is turned off and more
than 30 minutes pass with the interior lamp illumi-
nated, the interior lamps will go off automatically.
When the ignition switch is turned off and one of
the door switches remains open for 30 minutes
continuously, the interior lamps will go off auto-
matically.
NOTE: The interior lamp automatic shutoff function
can be customised on vehicles equipped with a multi
center display (middle grade type). Refer to
P.54B-486.
Ignition key hole illumination lamp function
The ignition key hole illumination lamp illuminates when the
driver's door is opened with the ignition switch off, and for 30
seconds after the driver's door is closed. It also illuminates for
30 seconds after the ignition key is pulled out. In any case, it
goes out when the ignition switch is turned on.
Door ajar indicator
The combination meter receives the signal sent from the
ETACS-ECU about whether each door is open or closed and
turns the door ajar indicator on and off. While the door ajar indi-
cator is illuminated, the door ajar warning function is activated
and the door ajar indicator flashes 4 times. If the door remains
open even after the 4 warning flashes, the door ajar indicator
will be illuminated again. And when the interior lamp auto-
matic-shutoff function is activated, the door ajar indicator is
extinguished.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-358
If any of the following conditions is met with the igni-
tion switch at "ON" or "ST", the ETACS-ECU illumi-
nates, flashes or extinguishes the seat belt indicator
by using the driver's seat belt switch signal and the
vehicle speed signal sent from the combination
meter.
Illuminates when the ignition switch is at "ON"
and the seat belt switch is turned on (the driver's
seat belt is unfastened).
Flashes and illuminates the indicator 12 cycles
(after 0.5 seconds) if any of the following condi-
tions is met when sixty seconds or more have
elapsed since the ignition switch is turned "ON".
One cycle consists of five-second "flashing" and
then three-second "illumination".a. The vehicle speed has reached 8 km/h (5
mph) while the seat belt switch is turned on
(driver's seat belt is not fastened) with the
ignition switch "ON.
b. The seat belt switch has been turned on
(driver's seat belt has not been fastened) for
at least ten seconds while the ignition switch
has been turned "ON" and the vehicle speed
has been 8 km/h (5 mph) or more.
NOTE: Once this timer operation has been acti-
vated, it will not be activated again until the
vehicle speed reduces to 3 km/h (2 mph) or
less even if any of the following conditions is
met.
The indicator stops illuminating if the ignition
switch or the seat belt switch is turned off (the
driver's seat belt is fastened) while the timer
operation is active.
