NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-28 and junction
block connector C-204 for loose, corroded, or damaged termi-
nals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate
connector C-28 or junction block connector C-204 is damaged,

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between trunk lamp connector
D-10 (terminals 1 and 2) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-219 (terminal 6) or C-218 (terminal 46) in good
condition?
YES : Replace the trunk lamp. Check that the trunk lamp
illuminates normally.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Check that
the trunk lamp illuminates normally.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE K-3: Interior lamp: Dome lamp dimming function does not work 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."

INSPECTION PROCEDURE K-4: Interior Light: The ignition key hole illumination lamp does not
illuminate or go out normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of diagnostic tool MB991958 and SWS monitor

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.
The ETACS-ECU operates the ignition key hole
illumination lamp according to the input signals
from the following switches:
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
ETACS-ECU may be defective.
