STEP 1. Check ETACS-ECU connector C-219 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Is ETACS-ECU connector C-219 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer
to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2. If the equipment described in "CIRCUIT
OPERATION" works normally, the input signal from
the ignition switch (ACC) should be normal.
STEP 2. Check the ignition switch (ACC) line of the power
supply circuit to the ETACS-ECU. Measure the voltage at
ETACS-ECU connector C-219.
(1) Disconnect ETACS-ECU connector C-219 and measure the
voltage available at the junction block side of the connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 4 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Replace the ETACS-ECU. If the equipment described
in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" works normally, the input
signal from the ignition switch (ACC) should be
normal.
NO : Go to Step 3.

Q: Is the wiring harness between ETACS-ECU connector
C-219 (terminal 4) and ignition switch (ACC) in good
condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
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. If the
equipment described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION"
works normally, the input signal from the ignition
switch (ACC) should be normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE M-2: ETACS-ECU does not receive any signal from the ignition switch
(IG1).
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ETACS-ECU operates the following equipment
or functions according to signal from the ignition
switch (IG1):
Light reminder tone alarm function
Seat belt tone alarm function
Door ajar warning buzzer
Turn-signal lamp buzzer
Multi center display operation tone
multi center display (middle grade type)>
Power window timer function
Sunroof timer function
Headlamp automatic shutdown function

If the power supply circuit from the battery to the
ETACS-ECU is open, this circuit is used as
backup circuit.
If the signal is not normal, the equipment or functions
described in "CIRCUIT OPERATION" do not work
normally.
The ETACS-ECU receives information on the ignition
switch condition (IG1) from the combination meter
via CAN communication. If the ignition switch (IG1)
input signal is incorrect, refer to the Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code Chart P.54B-25.
