CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the driver's door is opened with the ignition
switch at "ACC" position, the ETACS-ECU illumi-
nates the ignition key hole illumination lamp.
The ignition key hole illumination lamp goes out
in 30 seconds after the driver's door is closed.
The ignition key hole illumination lamp remains
illuminated for 30 seconds after the ignition key is
pulled out.

Ignition switch (IG1): OFF
Key reminder switch: OFF
Interior lamp loaded signal: ON
Vehicle condition:
Ignition switch: "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" posi-
tion
Ignition key: Removed from the ignition key
cylinder
Driver’s door: Opened or closed
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the ignition key hole illumination lamp does not illu-
minate, the input circuits from the switches described
in "CIRCUIT OPERATION", the key reminder switch
(ignition key hole illumination lamp bulb) or the
